Below are images from the games section of Kalle Anka & C:o. 41. Each issue of the Kalle Anka title had a similar format with games and where readers could answer trivia questions for the opportunity to win prizes.

Scrooge can be seen with his Dime in the games page logo below. The text within the logo translates to “got the money.”

Below is the fold-out from the back cover of the comic. Magica De Spell can be seen with Scrooge’s Dime.

1981 Dutch Reprint
On March 13th, 1981 the Dutch comic, Donald Duck 11 featured a reprint of the first half of, “The Mysterious Garden” along with a new cover for the story by, Mark de Jonge. The story was published in the Netherlands in two parts and some panels were partly or entirely omitted. the reprint is titled, “Zwarte Magica zaait verderf in Duckstad!” The de Jonge cover does not feature Scrooge’s Dime but I felt it was worth sharing.
