Merlin (), Archimedes ) and Mim ()'s debut in the prolificent Italian Disney comics scene was in a greatly remembered story: "Mago Merlino presenta: Paperino e la 850" (), published in nine parts in "Topolino" "libretto" #455-#464 (16 August-18 October 1964). In the story, Scrooge McDuck encharged Donald Duck and Hewey, Dewey and Louie with delivering a special gas to power the Olympic torch in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, passing through the World's most desparate climates to test its properties. Unfortunately, Donald's car, the 313, breaks down, but Merlin materialises and magically creates a Fiat 850 (Fiat was obviously sponsorising the story). Mim however wants to obtain the gas, and has the Beagle Boys chase after them. The 850 (initially put in contrast with the villains's generic, Edsel-like car) displays remarkable aspects helping, together with Merlin's magic, the ducks successfully finish their mission.
