Magica fra Tryll

Magica De Spell is a scheming sorceress from the slopes of Mount Vesuvius who obsessively seeks Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime, believing it holds the key to her magical ambitions. She debuted in the Norwegian edition as a cunning recurring antagonist to Scrooge and Donald.

Few villains in the Disney comics universe have proven as enduringly captivating as Magica fra Tryll, who burst onto the scene in 1963 — a Silver Age creation bearing the unmistakable stamp of the legendary Carl Barks — and has been bewitching readers through Hjemmet / Egmont publications for over six decades. With 180 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2026, she's no mere novelty: this is a character with genuine staying power, sharing pages across Donald Duck & Co, Donald Duck Junior, and the prestigious Carl Barks samlede verk alongside beloved figures like Mikke Mus, Langbein, and Bestemor Duck. Two of her appearances carry collector-recognized key-issue status, a testament to the impression she's made on the hobby. Whether you're a dedicated Barks completist or simply a fan of comics history, Magica fra Tryll is exactly the kind of richly conceived character who reminds you why Scandinavian Disney comics built such a passionate, devoted following.
