Ali Ha-Ha and the 40 Thieves first appeared in The Dandy in 1960, created by Ken Reid. It was popular enough that the strip ended up as the full colour feature on the back page of the comic.
Â
The strip originally dealt with Ali helping his father capture the 40 thieves but this often resulted in both Ali and his dad being the ones in trouble.
