Maleficent

Maleficent is the self-styled Mistress of All Evil from Disney's Sleeping Beauty, a powerful dark sorceress who cursed the infant Princess Aurora. Her comics debut came in Walt Disney Comics Digest #19, illustrated by Tony Strobl.

Straight from the Silver Age pages of Walt Disney Comics Digest #19 (1970), Maleficent brings one of Disney's most iconic presences into the comic book medium, brought to life on the page by artist Tony Strobl. She's kept formidable company over the decades — sharing adventures with the likes of Diablo — and her comics footprint stretches across an impressive 55 years, from 1970 all the way to 2025. Today it's Dynamite Entertainment flying her banner, most notably through the dedicated Disney Villains: Maleficent series, making her a collector's gem for anyone who loves seeing classic villainy given the full comic book treatment.
