"Birth Place" Sabrina is Archie Comics - American Journal of Comics. For the first time, the girl with supernatural abilities appeared in October 1962 in 22 issuance called Archie's Mad House.
Character authors - artist Dan Decarlo and writer George Gladir. None of any other experienced great illusions against a new heroine, but the audience, a young witch fell like a soul. As a result, it regularly appeared on the MAD MAGAZINE comic page for 7 years.
Spectatical sympathies determined the further development of the project. As a result, in 1970, Sabrina made his debut in the animated series as the main heroine. A year before this event, she had already appeared in the Cartoon The Archie Show.
Partly episodes of the show repeated the adventures of the watches on the pages of comics. Just like in Mad Magazine, the girl is studying at the Riverdail School, opposes monsters from the parallel world, while not forgetting about friends and personal life.
The idea of "teenage" witches turned out to be commercially successful, which even its creators did not expect. Actually, they did not even be difficult with the choice of name for a new heroine. So, George Gladir shared in an interview that he called the character with the name of a woman with whom he crossed on educational issues in studentship. Subsequently, the writer remembered that she was actually called Sabra.
The popularity of the girl-witches was not expected to be phenomenal. The Sabrina's account is not only a huge number of comics, animated series, but also a few full-length films and a cult tick. Today, young Spelman received a reboot, turning into a seductive, dangerous and most powerful witch on earth.
Image and biography Sabrina Spellman
The image of Sabrins from the first appearance radically changed. In the series of the 90s, this is a cheerful young wizard that goes to an ordinary school and lives with no less attractive witch aunt. She is a cute girl applying magic in good faith. In the other cinems, the same heroine is the daughter of Satan, and aunts - cannibals using witchcraft in the name of evil.The very first Sabrina, good-natured and even innocent, morally outdated, so the transformation of her image in the XXI century presented a new round of popularity. The revision of the biography and character of the heroine marked the release of new comics called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. In essence, it is a gloomy rethinking already familiar to the fans of a young witch story.
And everything began with an uncomplicated plot. George Gladir and Dan Decarlo decided to show how modern witch lives in the XX century. Weave in the plot of the school weekdays and the mysterious side of the magic world had to taste the audience.
Up to "reboot", the girl's biography corresponded to a specific canon. The heroine lives in Grindel in the same house with native aunt - Zelda and Hilda. She also has a pet - Cat Saleh, who did not possess the gift of human speech in comics.

In the first issue of the new issues, the "candy adventures of Sabrina", a young sorcerer uses a prohibited spell, for which it turns out to be expelled into the parallel world. There, the girl is trying to convince her ordinary person, but only with the goal to bring the witch to sacrifice Ctulhu.
And if the history of origin and conditions in which the heroine fell, they changed, the appearance corresponded to the canon. This is a 16-year-old girl, slim and pretty, with light wavy hair on the shoulders. The young wizard adhered to youth style in clothes - wearing both dresses and jeans. Preferred uncomplicated hairstyles, more often or put on bezel, or tied the tail - in general, no difference from classmates.
