Merlin

Few characters carry a name as storied as Merlin's, and this Silver Age conjurer — born in the pages of Donald Duck & Co in 1966 under the creative hands of Carl Fallberg, Vivi Aagaard, and Tony Strobl — has kept remarkable company across nearly six decades of Scandinavian Disney publishing. Appearing alongside the likes of Donald Duck, Onkel Skrue, Langbein, and even the delightfully wicked Madam Mim, this Merlin has made a home in beloved Hjemmet/Egmont titles like Donald Duck & Co and Walt Disney's Godbiter from 1966 all the way through 2023. It's a modest catalog footprint, but one with real staying power — a character who has quietly persisted through the full sweep of the Disney comics tradition in the Nordic market. For collectors with a taste for the charming corners of Disney's international publishing history, Merlin is a genuinely intriguing find.
