Good stories about Daisy interacting with Magica de Spell

[Orora]

Daisy is the major Disney duck heroine.
Magica is the major Disney duck villainess.

And yet, it is not easy to find stories where they even interact, which is weird!


I remember one story which ended with Donald hypnotized into being in love with Magica, and Daisy forced her to work on a cure.

I remember another story (which was made for a "girly" audience) where Daisy and Magica suddenly act like they are good friends, and work together to help a friendly vampire.

I know there is at least one story which is a parody of The Wizard of Oz where Daisy acts as Dorothy and Magica as the Wicked Witch of the West.


Do you know some good stories focused on Daisy with Magica, or Daisy versus Magica?

Essa Pata É Fogo! seems to have a similar plot, but I think that is a different story.

The very fine story Himalayan Hideout is Scrooge and Daisy vs. Magica...it also came up on the thread about stories where Scrooge interacts with Daisy. Daisy plays a crucial role in defeating Magica.

Also, just one panel of significant interaction here, but on the last page of Hedman's Christmas Magic Daisy is the person who tackles Magica mid-air and keeps her from snagging the last of the charmed mistletoe branches.

This one by Romano Scarpa features Daisy and Magica as the main characters, and does not feature Scrooge, Donald or the nephews:

I especially enjoyed this one because of its introspectiveness: it delves into Magica's character as she realises that she needs more friends in her life.

Thanks for noting this one—I’ll look for it. I tend to like more introspective, character-developing stories, but they can be hard to find, partly because they don’t usually get very high Inducks ratings.

Got my copy of Duckstad Pocket 11 with the Per Hedman story Sorcerer of the Swamp, and it definitely qualifies as a story featuring major interaction between Magica and Daisy. Daisy goes along on the search for a sorcerer Scrooge encountered many years ago--Scrooge wants to ask his help against Magica. Magica finds out and heads for the swamp, too. Daisy and Magica end up spending a good chunk of the story together, with each maintaining her own agenda. Scrooge and Donald get captured at the sorcerer's castle, and Daisy plays a key role in freeing them, saving the dime, etc. She also saves Magica from a crocodile at one point, though she makes it clear that that doesn't mean that they're friends!

I just found another one on Inducks, though I haven't read it yet, so I can't say if it's a *good* story. Arthur Faria's Contrafeitiços, in which apparently Daisy is the only one who can retrieve the stolen #1 dime from Magica's castle. Not going to make it into my headcanon, because my Magica neither dwells in a castle nor rooms with Mim! But I still might be able to convince myself into buying Journal de Mickey 2022 (1991) from French eBay to read it. Do you have access to that issue, Orora?

The Inducks rating is not high, but on the other hand, it's something that a Brazilian ten-pager even *has* a rating on Inducks, and that five people voted.

It's this one, in case someone was wondering Fun fact: according to this story Scrooge doesn't own the hill upon which his money bin stands.

Ha! Was just able to order the last copy one seller had for sale on eBay.fr. Thanks, caballero! Even if it isn't a great story, I'm interested because of the match-up. And Andreas Pihl has written a couple other Daisy stories which are on my list of "stories where Daisy comes off well": Agent Daisy and A Heart-Sized Ruby.

Ooh! I've read this one in its French printing. It's fun enough but does the obvious thing to convey its Feminist Message(TM), in that it once again makes Donald into a bit of a chauvinist for Daisy to prove herself against. Which isn't a dynamic I really like. Donald's no enlightened thinker, but neither should he be blithely offensive to his own girlfriend in those "a woman? working a difficult job? oddbodkins! how can this be!"-type ways.

Ah well, I only had to pay for comic+shipping approximately what I would have had to pay for a new IDW issue, so it's not like I'm taking a big risk. Yeah, I'd rather have the chauvinist antagonist, if any, be someone other than Donald. Your description reminds me of some of the Brazilian "New Daisy" stories from the 1980's, where the point was, A woman can be a forest ranger! A woman can be good at martial arts! Those stories do not hold up well. I think Brazil must have been about a decade later than the USA in feminist progress; that "surprise" wouldn't have worked in the USA after the mid-1970's. The New Daisy stories that work for me are the ones with more of a fantasy storyline: the ones where Daisy encounters mermaids or Amazons.
