Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a comedy title.
Long before the moody Netflix reboot, Sabrina Spellman was Archie Comics' sunniest supernatural teenager. This is the lighthearted original, following a half-witch high schooler who lives with her spellcasting aunts Hilda and Zelda and a mischievous black cat named Salem, all while juggling homework, crushes and the ordinary chaos of teen life. Created by writer George Gladir and artist Dan DeCarlo, Sabrina first popped up in Archie's Madhouse before earning her own long-running title. The magic is mostly played for laughs, a cozy suburban sitcom in comic-book panels.
