The series premiered in
1952.
The title character is a cunning witch with the
powers to use black magic and special potions as well as the
ability to fly on her broomstick Beelzebub. Although she would
probably not admit to it, she is basically a goodnatured witch
despite her somewhat haggish appearance.
The stories were/are written by an overwhelming
number of artists. Examples: Homer Brightman (1901-1988), Carl
Barks (1901-2000), Robert 'Bob' Louis Karp (1911-1975), Evert
Geradts (1943-), Janet Rae Gilbert (1953-), Frank Jonker
(1965-).
