MAMARONECK, NY – July 3, 2006  - THIS OCTOBER, REDISCOVER THE MAGIC… AND MANGA… OF SABRINA!

2004 was a milestone year for Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Not only did Sabrina celebrate her 42nd year as a pop culture phenomenon that year, she also received a very special makeover. A MANGA makeover!

It all began when aspiring writer/cartoonist Tania del Rio entered and won a contest that led to her artwork being published in a prestigious collection of new manga talent. Tania’s newfound celebrity caught the eye of one of the longest running comic book publishers in the business… a publisher whose flagship character just happens to have a tic-tac-toe pattern on the side of his red-haired head!

Two years later, it is obvious that Tania’s stylings have really struck a chord with fans. Sabrina readers can hardly wait to enjoy the sophisticated mix of magical intrigue, romantic entanglements, and trademark Archie Comics humor that del Rio delivers month after month.

Now, you can relive Sabrina’s "manga makeover" in SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH: THE MAGIC REVISITED. This special 5 x 7 ½ inch edition printed on superior stock reprints the first four issues to feature Tania at the helm. Stories include:

"Spellfreeze" (issue #58): When fellow witch Shinji does a charm school project on mortals living without magic, he ends up an exchange student at Sabrina’s high school. Thus the Sabrina, Harvey, Shinji "love triangle"is born! Further complicating matters, Sabrina uses the forbidden "Spellfreeze"in the mortal world!
"Blue Ribbon Blues" (issue #59): It’s time for the annual tradition of high school basketball players giving ribbons to the girls they want to cheer for them. Sabrina gets a ribbon from Harvey of course, an act that leaves several jealousies in its wake! All this, plus Sabrina makes her own broom in charm school!
"Councils & Concerts" (issue #60): Shinji decides he better make a move before Sabrina gets too serious with Harvey, so he asks Sabrina out on their first official date! However the council… especially the queen… has other ideas, brought on by Sabrina’s misuse of "Spellfreeze"a few issues earlier!
"The Magic Within" (issue #61): Conveniently "forgotten" invitations to Amy's Halloween party as well as Amy talking up her witch friend Gwen, leaves Sabrina feeling disconcerted. Luckily, Harvey invites Sabrina to the party as his date, but Sabrina still must contend with Gwen's authenticity, not to mention Shinji's mysterious date!
