* In 1962, the Italian branch of [[The Walt Disney Company|Walt Disney Productions]] published the story ''Paperino e la grotta di Aladino'' (''Donald and Aladdin's Cave''), written by Osvaldo Pavese and drawn by [[Pier Lorenzo De Vita]]. As in many [[pantomime]]s, the plot is combined with elements of the [[Ali Baba]] story: [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]] leads [[Donald Duck]] and their [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|nephews]] on an expedition to find the treasure of Aladdin and they encounter the Middle Eastern counterparts of the [[Beagle Boys]]. Scrooge describes Aladdin as a [[outlaw|brigand]] who used the legend of the lamp to cover the origins of his ill-gotten gains. They find the cave holding the treasure—blocked by a huge rock requiring a magic password ("open sesame") to open.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++344-AP |title=Profile of ''Paperino e la grotta di Aladino'' |access-date=2007-07-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929124239/http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++344-AP |archive-date=2007-09-29 |url-status=live }}</ref>
* The original version of the comic book character [[Green Lantern#Golden Age Green Lantern|Green Lantern]] was partly inspired by the Aladdin myth; the protagonist discovers a "lantern-shaped power source and a 'power ring{{' "}} which gives him the power to create and control matter.<ref>Adam Robert, ''The History of Science Fiction'', Palgrave Histories of Literature, {{isbn|978-1-137-56959-2}}, 2016, p. 224</ref>
** In the ''[[Elseworlds]]'' series, there was even a story that combined the Green Lantern mythos with that of Aladdin called ''[[Green Lantern: 1001 Emerald Nights]]''.
