Comicon Advent Calendar Day 3 — Casting A Spell With Sabrina
by Scott Redmond
Magic is in the air as the holiday season is in full swing with visions of sugar plums dancing merrily. Welcome to the third day of the Comicon Advent Calendar.
While Christmas is the dominant focus in most cases, the season is full of a variety of holidays and celebrations. Each with their own cultural, societal, or religious background to boot. The Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year and midwinter marker, is one of those celebrations.
That’s what brings us to Sabrina The Teenage Witch Holiday Special which came out from Archie Comics in 2024. This special featured a main story from Kelly Thompson, Veronica Fish, and Jack Morelli who worked on the 2019 and 2020 Sabrina The Teenage Witch minis. Additionally, there is a story from Danielle Paige, Veronica Johnson, Matt Herms, and Morelli.
Behold the holiday joy as Sabrina and friends dispatch a bat-beast on the Solstice morning and the Spellmans’ very first Solstice in Greendale is revealed. Everything about this special is whimsically delightful with just the right slightly bent horror flavor one expects with modern Sabrina stories.
Showcasing that there are ways to do Sabrina stories of every shade, without skipping a beat. So grab some Solstice cookies, light the Yule log, and cast a little spell with this wintery special.
