Velma

Velma made her comics debut in 1956 within the sunny, spooky world of Harvey Comics, stepping onto the page in Casper the Friendly Ghost #48 under the pen of the wonderfully prolific Warren Kremer. A fixture of Harvey's beloved all-ages universe, she's spent over six decades — right through 2020 — popping up across titles like Wendy, the Good Little Witch, Wendy Witch World, and The Friendly Ghost, Casper, keeping lively company with the likes of Spooky, Fatso, and Poil. With a key issue to her name and 66 catalogued appearances, Velma is one of those quietly enduring Harvey characters who rewards the devoted collector willing to dig into the warm, whimsical corners of the Golden Age and beyond.
