From January 1949 to February 1956, his science fiction comic series Sabaku no Maō ( Japanese: 砂漠の魔王, lit.
'Demon King of the Desert' ) appeared in the Bōken Ō magazine by Akita Shoten.
He was inspired for this manga by the Middle Eastern tale of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
The manga's drawing style was influenced by American comics, which the editor of magazine had bought from the occupation army and given to Fukushima as a reference.
I was so moved by it that I wanted to make a film about a magic stone.“[3] Fukushima's other works include Inazuma Dōji (いなずま童子; 1954), Kaijin Z (怪人Z) and Shippū Kenshi (疾風剣士; 1956–1957).
