Jeanie
and her Genie began in a remote Oriental
town where a sweat-shop genie-packer ran out of lamps for packing genies, so
he put one in a torch. An English sailor buoght the torch in a souvenir shop and
sent it to his niece Jeannie in England as her birthday present. The Genie could
be summoned by turning the torch on. He granted Jeanie all sorts of wishes. Being
very clumsy, the Genie often found himself in different awkward situations. The
short series illustrated by an artist whom I can’t identify lasted from the
first issue of COR!! until 31st October, 1970
(issue No. 22).
