Sabrina, the Teenage Witch
Encyclopedia
Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a comic book
series published by Archie Comics
about the adventures of a teenage fictional character
named Sabrina Spellman
. The character was created by writer George Gladir
and artist Dan DeCarlo
. The comic's characters have also appeared in various other media formats. One format was a long-running television comedy series. Earlier, there had been an animated series produced by Filmation
Associates. Another format was a series of paperback novels (see list below) written by various authors, including Nancy Holder
, Diana G. Gallagher
, and Mel Odom, as well as a retelling
in which Sabrina discovers her powers while in junior high.
Sabrina, who is really a half-witch (her mother is a "mortal", while her father was a warlock) lives with her two aunts, Hilda and Zelda (both witches themselves), in the fictional town of Greendale, which is located somewhere near Riverdale, the home of Archie Andrews
. Also living with the three women as the family pet is Salem Saberhagen, a warlock-turned-cat for constant world domination activities.
Most of Sabrina's adventures consist of Sabrina either trying to use her powers in secret to help others (witches generally are not allowed to tell mortals about their abilities), learning more about her powers (either through her aunts or from trips to the "Other Realm", an extradimensional plane that is the home of various magical creatures, including witches), or trying to deal with the day-to-day trials of being a teenager. Sabrina also has a mortal boyfriend named Harvey Kinkle, who like nearly all the other mortals in Sabrina's world, is unaware his girlfriend is a witch. In the live-action sitcom, Harvey would eventually learn Sabrina is a witch on his own.
and artist Dan DeCarlo
. She first appeared in that humor anthology's lead story (the logo then spelled "Teen-Age"), and eventually became one of Archie Comics
' major characters, appearing in an animated series and a television
sitcom. Gladir recalled in 2007,
Sabrina made regular appearances in the comic book Archie's TV Laugh-Out
. The title was published from 1969 to 1985, and consisted of 106 issues.
The comic book Sabrina The Teenage Witch was published from 1971 to 1983, and ran for 77 issues. However, Archie Comics released a series of brand new Sabrina comics when the live action TV series began in 1996. This series ran for 32 issues between 1997 and December 1999. For January 2000 Archie rebooted the series from #1, this time based upon the 2000 animated series (the final issue of the 1997-1999 series had acted as a transition between the two adaptations). This new title was simply titled Sabrina and lasted for 37 issues; issue #38, published in late 2002, again acted as a transition issue as the series was retitled Sabrina The Teenage Witch and resumed being an adaptation of the live-action series. This lasted until issue #57, published in 2004, when the comic book series ceased being an adaptation of the TV version and underwent a manga makeover (see below).
Sabrina also occasionally appears in other Archie Comics as a visiting acquaintance of Archie, Betty Cooper

The comics were then released featuring new characters and a slightly more serious, continuity-heavy plot.

and illustrated by Chad Thomas. The mini-series continued directly on Sabrina's regular series beginning with issue #101, albeit with a different title known as The Magical Tales of Young Salem. This was done as a method to cut newsstands costs. The new series is partially based on a two-part story which occurred during the manga Sabrina series issues #93 and #94, which was a flashback about Salem's near-rise to power. As of issue #104, the first The Magical Tales of Young Salem mini-series was concluded, but apparently the comic book series is currently suspended for internal reasons and Archie Comics has yet to announce the next issue.

- Sabrina SpellmanSabrina SpellmanSabrina J. Spellman is the title character—a half-mortal and a half-witch—from the comic book Sabrina, the Teenage Witch which was later adapted in 1969 by Filmation as a segment from The Archie Comedy Hour . The character was created by writer George Gladir and artist Dan DeCarlo...
: the lead character of the series. In the sitcom, she is a smart but impulsive girl. She acts with a good heart and with good intentions without thinking her actions and their consequences through. The first seasons of the sitcom mostly consist of her doing something thoughtlessly to help her friends or punish her enemies, then having to deal with the consequences or begging her aunts' help to deal with the consequences. In the comic book series, Sabrina is the same well-meaning girl, but she struggles with constant pressure to be "bad" from all the other witches around her, especially her aunts. In the TV series, her aunts are not nearly as devious. Her aunts always know best but Sabrina being the typical teenage character type she doesn't often listen to the advice, her magic seems to get her into trouble most of the time but she always manages to get out of trouble.
- Hilda SpellmanHilda SpellmanHilda Spellman is a character featured in the classic Archie comic book Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She is a full witch who live in the fictional town of Greendale...
: Sabrina's aunt. In the comics, she the more mature and logical of Sabrina's aunts. In the sitcom, she is frivolous and bubbly, constantly checking her appearance and avoiding any duties that she can that she finds boring or difficult. Though in both versions, she is prone to mischief. Also, in the sitcom, she's said to have been working for Salem while he was attempting to take over the world, so the Witches' Council sentenced her to take care of him for 100 years and keep him free of parasites.
- Zelda SpellmanZelda SpellmanZelda Spellman is a fictional character featured in the classic Archie comic book Sabrina the Teenage Witch. She is a full witch and lives in the fictional town of Greendale...
: Sabrina's aunt. In the comics, she was the more frivolous of Sabrina's aunts. In the sitcom, she is the wiser and more patient of the sisters and is usually the voice of reason in the household. She is also more responsible. In the earlier comics, she was supposed to find a husband within a year or else lose her powers.
- Harvey Kinkle: Sabrina's boyfriend, a mortal who is unaware of Sabrina's being a witch (in the sitcom, Harvey eventually learns, on his own, that Sabrina is a witch). In the comics, he is presented as being sweet and loyal, but also accident-prone (similar to Archie).
- SalemSalem SaberhagenSalem Saberhagen is a character from the American comic Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, who also appeared in all other adaptations of the original, including the 1969 animated version by Filmation in which Salem is an American Shorthair breed, and has no other name except "Salem". In addition, unlike...
: the Spellmans' American shorthair cat; Salem was formerly a warlock, who was turned into a cat as punishment by the Witches' Council for plotting to take over the world. Salem has the ability to talk and possesses a sarcastic and somewhat self-centered attitude. He has been voiced in the past by Traxy McGea. In the Filmation version, Salem (voiced by Mel BlancMel BlancMelvin Jerome "Mel" Blanc was an American voice actor and comedian. Although he began his nearly six-decade-long career performing in radio commercials, Blanc is best remembered for his work with Warner Bros...
) is a cat of indeterminate breed who can only meow, and has no other name except "Salem". Additionally, this version is simply a cat (as opposed to the sitcom's human-turned-into-a-cat portrayal), and often plays practical jokes on the two dog characters Hot Dog Jr., and Chili Dog. A recurring joke is that he will spray his throat with an atomizerAtomizer nozzleAn atomizer nozzle is an aspirator nozzle for producing a fine spray of a liquid based on the Venturi effect.-Principle of operation :When a gas is injected under pressure through a tube with a decreasing section, it speeds up, generating a pressure drop at the narrowest point .The reduced...

Characters from the Gravestone Heights stories
- Eye-da: A student from Riverdale High with one enormous eye where a head should be. She appeared at least twice in the late 1950s in Archie stories, usually as only an unexpected visual punchline at the end of a typical story featuring Betty and Veronica. However, she became a significant character many years later in one incarnation of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. When Sabrina and her aunts moved to Gravestone Heights, a city inhabited by witches, ghosts and monsters, Eye-da (who seemed less out of place there) became one of Sabrina’s best friends.
- Francine: Sabrina's ghoulish friend that resembles the Bride of FrankensteinBride of FrankensteinBride of Frankenstein is a 1935 American horror film, the first sequel to Frankenstein...
