Sabrina the Teenage Witch has her roots lying deep in comic books and cartoons.

Whether it is the challenges of Riverdale High School or honing her magic, the animated Sabrina offers countless comical adventures, unlike her 90s sitcom counterpart, where Melissa Joan Hart's Sabrina takes on a more contemporary pop cultural approach, alongside science fiction elements.
