Who is Wendy?

Wendy is a kind-hearted young witch who debuted as a supporting character in Harvey Comics, first appearing alongside Casper the Friendly Ghost. Unlike the mischievous witches around her, she uses her magic gently and befriends those others might fear or shun.

Few characters from the Golden Age of Harvey Comics have cast as long and warm a spell as Wendy β€” a good little witch who first appeared in Casper the Friendly Ghost #43 in 1956 and went on to headline her own titles, including Wendy, the Good Little Witch and Wendy Witch World, across an remarkable 64-year publishing run. She shares her enchanted world with beloved Harvey regulars like Spooky, Fatso, and the witchy trio of Zelma, Thelma, and Velma, making her a cornerstone of that cozy, kid-friendly universe Harvey built so well. With 215 catalog appearances and four key issues to her name, Wendy is no mere supporting player β€” she's a genuine Harvey icon whose gentle, good-hearted charm made her one of the most enduring figures the company ever conjured up.
