''Sabrina, the Teenage Witch'' is the name of a Comic Book series published by Archie Comics about the adventures of a Teenage Fictional Character named '''Sabrina Spellman'''. The comic's characters have also appeared in various other media formats, including a long-running Television Comedy series. Sabrina, who's really a Witch (or a half-witch—her mother was a "mortal", as the comics called ordinary Humans , while her father was a Warlock ), lives with her two Aunt s, Hilda And Zelda (both witches themselves), in the fictional town of Greendale, which was located somewhere near Riverdale , the home of Archie Andrews . Also living with the three women was the family pet, Salem The Cat . Most of Sabrina's adventures consist of Sabrina either trying to use her powers in secret (witches generally not being 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 was 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. Sabrina also occasionally appears in other Archie Comics as a visiting acquaintance of Archie, Betty Cooper , Veronica Lodge , and Jughead Jones . The Japan ese " Magical Girl " genre of Manga shares some similarities to the ''Sabrina'' series. CHARACTERS
