A comic strip witch is a character commonly found in comic books and comic strips. These witches are typically depicted as female characters with magical powers and a penchant for mischief and spellcasting. They often wear traditional witch attire, including a pointed hat, cape, and broomstick. Comic strip witches are often portrayed as both good and evil, depending on the storyline. Some witches use their powers for good, helping others and protecting the world from evil forces. Others, however, use their powers for personal gain or to cause chaos and havoc.

A dense cluster of twigs, in medieval times, the mysterious "witches' broom" an unexplainable occurrences was often blamed on witchcraft.

Witches' brooms occur on many different woody plant species, including deciduous trees such as hackberry, maple, and willow, and conifers such as pine and spruce. There may be only one broom in a tree, or they may be many scattered throughout the tree. In some cases, the brooms are quite large in size and a re easily spotted. In others, they are small and well-hidden.

Comic Book / W.I.T.C.H.

"You are the new Guardians of the Veil. " note Clockwise from top: Taranee Cook, Hay Lin, Cornelia Hale, Irma Lair, and Wilhelmina "Will" Vandom.

W.I.T.C.H. is an Italian Magical Girl fantasy comic series published by Disney Italia, and created by writer Elisabetta Gnone and artists Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa. Beginning in April 2001, the series ran for over ten years, ending in October 2012 after a total of 139 main issues and 16 specials.

Years ago, an evil prince named Phobos disposed of his parents and took control of Meridian, the capital city of a distant planet known as Metamoor. To prevent his tyranny from spreading any further, the Oracle, the head of a council tasked with watching over the events of the universe, separates Meridian from the rest of the universe with a powerful veil. A veil that unfortunately has begun to weaken, causing portals between it and the planet Earth to start opening, allowing both refugees from Phobos's rule and monsters under his command to start crossing over. Meanwhile, a young teenage girl named Will who recently moved to the town of Heatherfield finds herself having odd visions and befriending four other girls who each secretly have strange supernatural powers; Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin. Together, the quintet discovers that they've been chosen as the new Guardians of Kandrakar: powerful beings with control over the five elements (Will gaining a mysterious power called Quintessence) who must protect the very center of the universe from people and creatures who wish to cause harm to it. Their first mission? Close the portals that have been opening and put an end to Phobos's rule. And that's only the beginning.

In the United States, the comic was initially released as graphic novels underneath Disney's "Hyperion Books" publishing label, with that run covering only the first sixteen issues, ending in the middle of the second story arc. The United Kingdom fared a bit better, seeing the release of everything up to issue seventy-four, but still left hanging in the middle of the seventh story arc. In October 2017, Yen Press began a new English translation, with all but the final story arc being released as of August 2023. There also exists chapter book novelizations of the first two story arcs, as well as a short-lived Japanese manga version that was serialized in Kadokawa's "Monthly Asuka" magazine (consisting of the original scripts with new artwork by Haruko Iida) that covered the first story arc and was later collected in two tankōbon.

Multiple novels taking place within the W.I.T.C.H. universe have also been written by various Scandinavian writers, with only five of these novels note those being Danish author Lene Kaaberbøl's W.I.T.C.H. Adventures books gaining translation and release outside the region. Each of these novels centers on one of the protagonists:

• When Lightning Strikes (centered on Will)
• Enchanted Music (also known as The Music of the Silencer; centered on Irma)
• Heartbreak Island (also known as The Fire of the Ocean; centered on Taranee)
• Stolen Spring (also known as Green Magic; centered on Cornelia)
• The Cruel Empress (centered on Hay Lin)

In 2003, Lene Kaaberbøl also released four W.I.T.C.H. novels in the Crystal Birds series (also known as The Broken Orb series):

• The Stone Falcon
• The Talons of the Eagle
• The Shadow of the Owl
• The Golden Phoenix

The books by other writers are:

• Queen of the Night (Maud Mangold, Swedish, 2006)
• The Ebony Pyramid (Ruben Eliassen, Norwegian, 2006)
• The Flame of Clarity (Maud Mangold, Swedish, 2005)
• The Golden Spring (Josefine Ottesen, Danish, 2005)
• The Iceflower (Josefine Ottesen, Danish, 2004)
• The Pristine Rose (Lene Møller Jørgensen, Danish, 2006)
• The Storms of Windmor (Cecilie Eken, Danish, 2005)
• The Touch of a Star (Lene Møller Jørgensen, Danish, 2007)
• The Wells of Fog (Cecilie Eken, Danish, 2004)

In July of 2023, Disney Italy announced a new even-more Animesque reboot in the form of a manga-like graphic novel, set to release in Italy in October. Pages with English text have surfaced online, but so far there is no word on an official English-language release yet.

Others, however, use their powers for personal gain or to cause chaos and havoc. Regardless of their alignment, comic strip witches are known for their unique abilities and magical spells. They can cast spells to grant wishes, transform themselves or others into various forms, and communicate with animals or supernatural beings.

WITCH provides examples of the following tropes:

• Abhorrent Admirer: Martin, the text-book example of a nerd, has a massive, one-sided crush on Irma and just doesn't get "no" as an answer. He ends up being a Cosmic Plaything as a result, since he (unbeknownst to him) gets caught in the crossfire of various supernatural events. Though eventually, he learns to leave her alone, and they become fairly good friends.
• Aborted Arc: Whatever happened to Irma's and Joel's relationship? We see them very much in love, then the girls have to attend to some usual otherwordly business, then to another, than to another. and the next time we see Irma swooning over a guy it's some bloke called Stephen. None of the other W.I.T.C.H members ever point this out or do as much as recall Joel's existence.
• Accomplice by Inaction: Ari of Arkhanta, who possesses a slave he uses only for his greedy motives, holds a massive grudge against the oracle of Kandrakar, the benevolent figure who saves everyone's life once a week. Why? Unlike the man, who obsessed about changing his son, the Oracle didn't ever try to "cure" the child's illness.
• Action Girl: Every single guardian, which makes them an Amazon Brigade.
• A-Cup Angst: Will is less than well-endowed, and rather sore about it, too.
• Aerith and Bob: The inhabitants of Meridian include Galgheita, Phobos, Vathek, Miriadel, Alborn. and Cedric. Also overlaps with Tom the Dark Lord.
• Affectionate Nickname:
  • Mariko the Black Queen calls her sister Shinobu "Bu-chan".
  • Some of the girls call Cornelia 'Corny'.
  • Hay Lin is sometimes called "Hay-hey."
  • Cornelia accidentally ends up with all five elemental powers early in the second saga, and attempts to use the power boost to restore Caleb to his human form. It doesn't end well.
  • It's implied to be an ability of the Heart of Kandrakar, but it's never used until the penultimate issue of the New Power arc.
  • The Guardians acquire the power to do it at will (instead that as a desperation attack like in the New Power arc) in the final issue.
  • Nigel Ashcroft, Taranee's love interest, has one in Danny, who's resentful of the Cook household due to having been put on trial for vandalism by Taranee's mother.
  • Peter Cook, Taranee's older brother, is an aversion of this trope — out of all of the siblings he's the closest to his sister.
  • At the end of the first saga, Elyon defeats Phobos, thus freeing Meridian and becoming Queen, but Caleb is transformed into a flower.
  • At the end of the second saga, the Guardians beat Nerissa and save Kandrakar, but Cornelia is heartbroken when she and Caleb break up.
  • The closest it ever gets to any sort of time flow is William, Will's half-brother, being sired and born, then reaching the age of 1. He's however never seen older than a toddler.
  • Justified in one arc - Nerissa attempts to attack the girls in their dreams. specifically to weaken them. By constantly giving them nightmares, they therefore are worn down.
  • And there was a three part special detailing Caleb saving Elyon from a curse, and both of them eventually realising that they've fallen in love with each other.
  • Whether Yan Lin is Hay Lin's paternal or maternal grandmother. At the very beginning of the story (before going to Kandrakar permanently), Yan Lin addresses Chen as her son. But later in the comic, Joan mentions Yan Lin telling her bedtime stories when she was a child. Later again, Joan's parents are shown, and her mother is definitely not Yan Lin. Hay Lin's family is pretty complex, Chen was the servant of Joan's family, and they fell in love, so if Chen's family all were servants of Joan's family could Yan Lin have told Joan bedtime stories as a nanny.
  • Lionel Cook's job. Depending on the issue, he's either a former lawyer turned psychologist. or a fireman.
  • Irma's little brother Christopher's age fluctuates wildly. Sometimes, he's a small child of similar age to Lillian (younger or older than her) and sometimes he's basically a pre-teen.
  • Whether the guardians need Will and the heart of Kandrakar to transform or are able to do it independently changes with plot convenience.
  • Near the end of the first saga, Caleb is reverted to a flower by Phobos as punishment for his betrayal. Cornelia is later able to restore Caleb to human form in the second saga.
  • Near the end of the Trials of the Oracle saga, Phobos pulls an apparent Disney Villain Death. And then reappears in the following issue: it was all according to plan. This time the Guardians disintegrated his soul to make sure he was dead.
  • Embarrassing First Name: Will would love it if nobody ever found out her given name is Wilhelmina.
  • Empathic Shapeshifter: During the Teach 2b WITCH saga, Cornelia meets Leah, a girl whose appearance changes depending on what people around her need. Because she had changed so many times, she had forgotten what she originally looked like. The girls eventually brought her to Yan Lin, who helped Leah change back to her real appearance.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Yua in the third saga. She's a banshee, whose race is basically said to be Always Chaotic Evil, has been a slave to Ari for several years now, and her revenge plan is basically to make him suffer by kidnapping his only son. When said child is seriously hurt due to the actions of both, she looks sincerely sorry, and stops her attacks on him, and quietly disappears into her swamp after Maki is cured.
  • Expanded Universe: There have been some books based on the comics, such as the Adventure books and the Crystal Birds series. It's one book per girl. These books have images from the magazines inserted.
  • The Fashionista: Hay Lin, in a quite artistic way - she actually makes and designs many of her own clothes. To a lesser degree, Cornelia.
  • Expy: Luba with her red robe, animalistic ears and long, white hair may remind some anime fans of Inuyasha.
  • Fallen Hero: Nerissa used to be a Guardian.
  • Facial Markings: The Oracle (in the short lived manga) and Caleb in the comic both have these.
  • Fate Worse than Death: Combined with Deader than Dead through a strange series of events. Phobos split himself in two. His physical half chooses to fall into Eternity rather than be imprisoned, then the other half of his soul is destroyed ,
  • Faux Shadowing: When Orube moves to Heatherfield, a reclusive famous pianist next door seems to get romantically interested in her. Nothing ever comes of it and the guy gets buttkicked from the story altogether soon after that.
  • Fiery Redhead: Will.
  • Fluffy Cloud Heaven: Kandrakar gives off this vibe in both the comic and show.
  • Flying Firepower: Taranee had the power of creating and controlling fire since the beginning, but became an example of Flying Firepower in the New Power saga, when all the Guardians (and not just Hay Lin) acquired the ability to fly. An early foe, Ember the Pain, was this since she was created.
  • Fish out of Water: Subverted with Orube. She's sophisticated enough to realize that TV sets are machines, not magic, but she still needed to be explained that romantic melodrama movies aren't Real Life.
  • Foreign Exchange Student: The Ragorlang saga gives us Erin, who turns out to not even be from Earth, but from a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of India - oh, and she was recruited by the Ibsens to create strife among the Guardians. In the end, she makes a Heel�Face Turn, reunites with her missing brother, and returns to her world.
  • Forged Message: When Matt gets sucked into a magic book, the girls are left to try and cover up his disappearance, which includes writing an e-mail to a friend using his e-mail account, which they gained access to by guessing that his password was Will's name. Peter, the one they send it to, realizes something is off, since usually Matt's e-mails are full of typos, and this one, written by Cornelia, was not.
  • For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: In comic issue #100, the girls go to a party and find out it's a costume party. Guess what happens next.
  • For Want Of A Nail: At the end of the second saga Cornelia and Caleb end their relationship because neither are willing to leave their world. A special explored what would've happened if either of them had followed the other (hint, it's not happy).
  • Friend to All Living Things: Cornelia with plants and Will with animals. and home appliances.
  • Fun with Acronyms: W.I.T.C.H
  • Fusion Dance: The Guardians' final power-up in the comics is the ability to become a gestalt being called Sixtar.
  • Genre Blindness: The Oracle told them many times that their greatest strength is their unity. Nevertheless, the girls will often use the Let's Split Up, Gang! move at the worst moment. Will also told Hay Lin that monsters don't exist at the beginning of the Ragorland saga, ie after 60 issues in a All Myths Are True series.
  • Good Witch Versus Bad Witch: Well, they aren't witches, but they are still Magical Girl Warriors utilising elemental powers to face all sorts of magic users and beings from other worlds. It was particularly prominent in 2nd saga, the Nerissa's Revenge, but not restricted to it.
  • Grand Theft Me: In the fourth saga, Phobos switches bodies with Endarno in order to take over Kandrakar.
  • Green Aesop: Few issues have this, most notably #109, Green Truth.
  • Guardian of the Multiverse: Everyone from Kandrakar, but the Guardians seem to be the ones with the active role.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power
  • Heroic Sacrifice: There has been several of these:
    • Luba giving up her immortality in order to save Caleb from Nerissa.
    • Cedric getting in the way of a beam that would've killed Orube, and later refusing to let Cornelia attempt to heal him so that he will die and his body will turn into ink which the girls need to proceed with their mission. Probably also counts as Redemption Equals Death.
    • Liam getting in the way of the sword that the White Queen threw at Mariko.
    • Phobos got his soul disintegrated, as the Guardians didn't want to take chances and were furious for what he had just done (particularly Will, who had been subjected to a Mind Rape).
    • Also happens to a few of the supporting characters. One of Taranee's first dancing teachers dies of cancer at a young age, Will's pet gets killed by a passing car, etc.
    • Will is on the same level of Akane Tendo, having once put powdered soap in place of the flour. To be fair, Will has never done anything in a kitchen before, and her mother expected her to be the primary cook after William was born, with only cookbooks to help her. No matter how smart one is, that situation can be very stressful.
    • Orube can't cook due to lack of familiarity with Earth ingredients and cooking implements (the first time she cooked she set the kitchen on fire) and clumsiness outside the ways of a warrior. While she's slowly getting better, she still has a long way to go � she once set pasta water on fire!
    Taranee: What are they doing?
    Will: Fighting, as always. I think they're a couple.
    • We know there were guardians before W.I.T.C.H., including one group with Hay Lin's grandmother. But we never find out what they fought against. (The portals open every 1000 years, and Phobos and Elyon are humans, so it's very unlikely they fought against them, or that they are thousands of years old.)
    • Matt being from Kandrakar . Parodied when Will asks how important he was, and just then Kandor call him "captain".
    • Himerish, Endarno, Yan Lin and everyone else in Kandrakar. Really 700 Years Old and Time Abyss can also be applied.
    • Phobos also counts as it seems to be really inconsistent just how old he is (he said to be either just REALLY old or as old as time itself)
    • Will's baby brother is named William. During a visit from other members of the family, Will got frustrated when they started calling William "Will" while referring to her by her real name, Wilhelmina.
    • Will and Irma's fathers as well as Elyon's adoptive father are all called Thomas, or Tom for short.
    • The male Interpol agent investigating Elyon's disappearance and the bassist from Cobalt Blue are both named Joel.
    Orube: How do we enter the fortress? Flying? Irma: Forget it! Only Hay Lin can fly! Orube: Then why do you have wings? Irma: Ah! Stupid question! It's so obvious! It's because. Because. Orube: So you don't have an answer to everything, Irma! Will: We'll enter while invisible. We've already done it, and it works. Will *whispering to Hay Lin*: Anyway, remind me to ask the Oracle why we have wings.
    • Nerissa was sealed in a coffin inside a mountain until the Aurameres were merged together, breaking the spell that kept her locked away.
    • After reaching 0% Approval Rating, Nihila's temple got stormed by her subjects and she ultimately ended up trapped inside, spending centuries trying to get out.
    • Hay Lin has a little Sailor Moon on her monitor, along with a monster that kinda looks like Godzilla. Irma has plenty of Disney paraphernalia, including a Little Mermaid.
    • In the Dark Mother Saga, they combine their powers to create a powerful being to defeat her
    • The Ibsens in the Ragorlang saga are probably named after Henrik Ibsen. In keeping with the Norwegian theme, the Ragorlang's appearance is based on The Scream (the chapter in which it appears is called "The Screaming Man").
    • ProfessorTakeda in the Teach 2b Witch arc may well have been inspired by Gendo Ikari: a brilliant Japanese scientist who undertakes questionable experiments motivated by the loss of a family member, while ignoring his introverted daughter Shinobu.
    • The WITCH girls end up discovering the Magic School they're supposed to find is a van that becomes a bus. It's quite literally a magic school bus.
    • In the Ladies vs. W.I.T.C.H. arc, one of the three inimical Ladies is called Lady Giga. Her weapon of choice is her repetitive, maddening singing.
    • In a later issue, there are five countesses named Josephine, Margareth, Elizabeth, Amy and Louise

    These magical powers often lead to humorous situations and comedic scenarios within the comic strip. One popular comic strip witch is Sabrina Spellman, the main character from the Archie Comics series "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." Sabrina is a young witch who navigates the challenges of being a teenager while also dealing with her magical abilities. The comic strip portrays her adventures as she learns to control her powers and balance her everyday life with her magical responsibilities.

Additionally, the characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with or care about their struggles. Overall, I was disappointed by the lack of originality and depth in this novel.
