The famed adventurer and the chronicles of his adventures! Ali Baba was a poor woodcutter
who witnessed the 40 thieves and soon joined them, eventually taking over command. A
mixture of Robin Hood and Sinbad, the stories of Ali Baba reach over the sands of the
Middle East, a land rich in fable and mystery. These new adventures feature many of the
key characters found in Sir Richard Burton’s 1001 Arabian Nights.
Two issues were published.
