good evening.i'm bored. i smoked a joint. so here's some Silver Age fun featuring everybody's favorite teen-age witch. Sabrina Spellman. we will begin with Sabrina's first story from Archie's Madhouse #22OTHER THREADSMars Attacks Popeye>>151283091Popeye: Borned To The Sea>>151309892
>>151325035
>>151325049
What a cutie. Love how her eyes are drawn. VERY emblematic of dark attractive women like what you would often see from Italian Giallo films or anything with Claudia Cardinale.
>>151325066
>>151325131
>>151325035They just released a facsimile of Sabrina #1. I was going to pick it up, but none of my local shops got it in. I do really like DeCarlo's art, but the only Archie stuff I have are a couple I picked up in a quarter bin.
>>151325150the next story is "Witch Pitch" from Archie's Madhouse #24.from what i can discern it seems to have skipped an issue, much like Dr. Strange did in Strange Tales.
>>151325244
>>151325261
>>151325279
>>151325296
>>151325327
>>151325348"Sister Sorceress" from Archie's Madhouse #25
>>151325413
>>151325445
>>151325460
>>151325507
>>151325526
>>151325526forgot to post this. but this is a one pager from Archie's Madhouse #24. same issue as Witch Pitch.
>>151325589"Jinx Minx" from Archie's Madhouse #26
>>151325614
>>151325635
>>151325650bump
>>151325675
>>151325691
>>151325708despite appearing on the cover of Archie's Madhouse #27. she would not appear in this issue. i'm posting the cover anyways
please bump...
well hopefully this thread wont diehold on
>>151325749"Tennis Menace" from Archie's Madhouse #28
>>151325834
>>151325845
>>151325883
>>151325905
>>151325931
>>151325943
she then next appears in this "Teen-Age Section" in Archie's Madhouse #30
>>151325993another "Teen-Age Section" appearance. Archie's Madhouse #31. her next story won't be until #33
>>151326111"Ronald The Rubber Boy Meets Sabrina The Witch Queen" from Archie's Madhouse #33
>>151326191Ronald The Rubber Boy was another feature from Archie's Madhouse. so i guess this marks her first ever crossover?
>>151326202
>>151326217
>>151326232
>>151326247
>>151326262"Bowled Over" from Archie's Madhouse #36.also, i messed up typing the last one. last story was from #33.
>>151326370
>>151326384
>>151326400
>>151326420
>>151326433
>>151325035Writer: George GladirPencils: Dan DeCarloShe's a little influenced here by Kim Novak in "Bell, Book and Candle." That's where they got the rule about witches being unable to cry, but it didn't stick.
>>151325244>>151325413>>151325614These stories are all also by Gladir and DeCarlo.Gladir was classic Silver Age Archie's second most prolific writer after Frank Doyle. Gladir wrote a lot of the one-page gags and cover gags as well as most of the "Mad House" stuff and a lot of other regular stories. He really liked rhyming titles.Gladir was also head writer for "Cracked". So he's your go-to guy for anything MAD-influenced.
>>151326191>>151326370These two stories, however, are drawn and probably written by Joe Edwards ("Li'l Jinx").
>>151326444"Double Trouble" from Archie's Madhouse #37
>>151326544>>151326484>>151326448>>151326503thanks for the info!
>>151326555
>>151326544I always wonder if the Beatles just completely lost their teenage girl fandom at around 1966 or so. They stayed super popular but the gags about every teen girl collecting Beatles albums and merch all disappeared.
>>151325035I never realized these stories were so focused on Sabrina being a horny teenager.
>>151326569
>>151326569so i guess this is another crossover, since Prof Transistor is one of the other reoccurring features in this mag.
>>151326544>>151325834Gladir and DeCarlo again.I see they went back and forth on whether to give her the freckles.
according to the list i'm using. her next story is "Lulu Of A Boo-Boo" from Archie's Madhouse #45
>>151326749the art for this particular story is really rough...
>>151326763was this some fill-in cat? were they rushed?
>>151326781
>>151326807
>>151326763This is the first one whose art I didn't recognize. Comics.org says it's Bill Kresse, who created the comic strip "Super Duper" later. I don't think I've ever seen his work in an Archie comic before.
>>151326821
>>151326569>how do you spell cat?>asking this as a written questionkek
>>151326851well sunuva bitch. the source i'm using doesn't seem to have the next story.("Beach Party Smarty" from Madhouse #48)art's by Bill Kresse apparently so i'm not missing much. yeesh!i did, however. find a youtube video about it. which is good enough as anything else I suppose.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdAQVOD7OgMgotta problem? hit the bricks, pal. this is MY thread.next one after that is "Go-Go Gaga" from Archie's Madhouse #49.
>>151327089
>>151327104DeCarlo is definitely better at drawing Sabrina.
>>151327123
>>151327138I kinda like that i'm missing issues, anyways. makes it feel a little like you're looking through someone's imperfect comic collection stashed in a shoebox somewhere.
>>151327148
>>151327157"Rival Reversal" from Archie's Madhouse #50
>>151327215
>>151325066Would have been interesting if they kept this stuff in the story. It was dropped almost immediately.
>>151327223
>>151325971>Sabrina--you GOOFED! Consequences will NEVER be the same!
>>151327246
>>151327261
>>151327270
>>151327284here's a 1 pager from the same issue.
>>151327312the next story is missing ("London Lore" from Madhouse #52. as is "School Scamp" from #53) so we're going to "Speed Deed" from Archie's Madhouse #55
>>151327422
>>151327438
>>151327438>since the Salem Witchcraft trials>implying that she's been alive for that longinteresting worldbuilding implications.
>>151327468
>>151327476
>>151327468They didn't really have continuity in Archie comics, so the same character can have different "facts" about them even under the same writer. Like there are stories where Mr. Lodge was always rich, but one story where the punchline is that he married into money.Whatever works for this particular gag, basically, is the history of the character.
>>151327505oh of course, i know Archie's never been all that consistent with stuff like that but it's still fun to think aboutanyways here's the next story. "Wile Style" from Archie's Madhouse #58
>>151327560HIDEOUS art.
>>151327568
>>151327576
>>151327585
>>151327592
>>151327598"Teeny-Weenie Boppers" from Archie's Madhouse #59
>>151327628
>>151327638
>>151327652
>>151327663
>>151327673I think i'll stop here for tonight.
>>151327682I lied.anyways, since i'm missing "Past Blast" (from #63) the next appearance after that is a 1 pager called Light Delight from Madhouse #65
>>151327871this is another 1 pager from Mad House Ma-ad Jokes #70. (the retitle of Archie's Madhouse)
>>151327871This one looks like longtime Archie artist Bill Vigoda (he died young in the early 70s, his brother Abe was a very successful actor).
>>151327930And this is Stan Goldberg, big contributor at both Marvel and Archie.
tonight's actual final story is Super Duper Party Pooper from Archie's TV Laugh-In #1. twice as long as any single story i've posted thus far
>>151328040
>>151328047
>>151328061
>>151328065
Garbage
>>151328129joyless soulless post
>>151328152
>>151328161
>>151328196
>>151326586That was all 60s era Archie. It was entirely stories about each character being a horny teen.
>>151328047I wondered if Ambrose was based on Gomez Adams.
bump
>>151327089They probably had to go to Kresse because they had DeCarlo doing Betty & Veronica, Betty and Me, She's Josie/Josie & the Pussycats and pinups and covers, and he had to sleep some time.But Kresse was very mismatched for the feature.
>>151325035Dan was firing on all gears here. Shane that he toned it down even more than this later.Its funny to think that to Dan, in 1962, the difference between adult women and teen girls was body fat. His previous adult comics showed a lot more belly, ass, hip and chest fat. He also made women taller and stronger looking than he would for Archie.Imagine a world where archie had comics for adults and teen girls didnt grow up thinking they were suppose to be twigs
>>151326763>the art for this particular story is really rough...Nah, I like it. Whomever did this one kept giving her a huge ass.Big witch asses are nice
>>151330414>women taller and stronger looking than he would for Archie.Like, look at this. She could snap this old man in half
>>151325244That skull throne is rad
Op here, keep the thread alive pls I'll finish the story when I get home I fell asleep
Thanks for the Sabrina storytime
>>151325035sex with sabrinaman, remember those new archie comics from years ago? unlife with archie or whatever and Sabrina's chilling tales? i knew zero about archie at the time (compared to almost zero now) and that was the first time i found out sabrina is an archie character and that andrew hussie just cloned her wholesale
Im surprised the religious right never had a shit over archie comicsThey've got Sabrina, a sex pot, out doing wicked little pranks. Her aunts are ugly old witches. Betty has like a vampire uncle and had multiple personality disorder. Thats not even getting into modern stuff like the gender swap comic, gay comic and sabrina comic with satan
>>151325049>Witches can't cryPfft, well there go all the kinky sex scenarios.
>>151325131>DellaOh my...
>>151325296Man, that last panel is just fantastic.
>>151325507A man attracted to two girl?! How will they get out of this one?
>>151327089This looks more like a Harvey comics knockoff of an Archie comic than an actual Archie product.
>>151325131>Sacroiliac Lol and they tell you comic books can't be educational!
