Meanwhile, her aunts, who are chaotic personalities in and of themselves, try to help Sabrina navigate the endless problems she finds herself in. Harvey is a well-intentioned person who is unaware of what a truly weird family Sabrina belongs to and Salem is a comic foil and friend for Sabrina. Sabrina's aunts, Hilda and Zelda, Salem the cat, and Harvey have all been her most important recurring characters.
#SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH SEASON 1 COVER SERIES#
Most of Sabrina's stories are about her trying to take short cuts with her powers and kicking off a chaotic series of events by doing so, and this flaw is exactly what makes her such a relatable character all these years later. Trying to balance spending time with her love interests and committing to her training as a witch remains an essential trait. Sabrina's early adventures were similar in format to other Archie comics of the time in that, rather than long-form storytelling, they would focus on multiple short gag strips with a clear set-up and punchline, all aimed at a young audience.ĭespite these stories being short and silly - in a good way! - they still managed to establish some of the more serious aspects of Sabrina's life. She didn't get her own series until 1971, but when she did, it ran all the way to 1983. Though she had been intended as a simple one-off gag story, Sabrina was a hit, and so she became a recurring guest star in Archie's various anthologies. Sabrina delights in being a witch, so this worries her to no end. Marrying the modern with the ancient for a comical effect similar to I Dream of Jeannie or Bewitched, Sabrina lets us in on the trials and tribulations of being a witch, including that she has no issues with using her powers to her benefit and that falling in love would cause her to lose her witchy strength powers. Sabrina walks us through her day-to-day life in Greendale, telling the reader of the many trials of her life as a teen witch.
Sabrina's first comic book adventure was a short introduction story written by George Gladir and drawn by Don DeCarlo. Newly relocated to Greendale with her aunts Hilda and Zelda (also witches), Sabrina is trying to make the best of being the new girl in town which so far includes two intriguing love interests, an instant rivalry, a couple of misfits that could turn into BFFs, and trying to save the high school (and maybe the world) from crazy supernatural events.Credit: Archie Comics / Archie's Madhouse #22, written by George Gladir, art by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick, lettering by Vincent DeCarlo ThanksīRAND NEW SERIES!
