Daniël:

>>> D 4616 The Mysterious Garden/The Green Attack.
>>> Art by Daniel Branca.
I think I know that one. An old house where the nephews used to play.


>>> I believe Don Rosa's "The Treasury Of Croesus" (D 94012) contains that
>>> great opening scene with (IMO) one of the weirdest scenes with Magica.

I also like the opening of  "The Many Faces of  Magica de Spell", where she
tries to break the bin open by controlling the weather. I seem to remember
another similar story, with a meteor. A ten-pager?


>>> My favourite Rosa-story with Magica is "A Matter Of Some Gravity" (D
96001),
>>> because of the sideway-gravity idea, and the consistent, border-pushing
way
>>> of how it is handled throughout the story.

Excellent.


>>> A Marco Rota Magica story which I find great, is his money ocean story
>>> "Zio Paperone e il deposito oceanico" (I AT 215-A). As I've said before,
>>> I find the story, art, and visualization, too beautiful to be true.

I love it. Great idea, beautifully illustrated. The money storm scenes are
spectacular.
