In "East Meets West," Sabrina Spellman finds herself trapped in the Nether Realm after Rotunda the Troll swaps places with her, slipping into her life as a foreign exchange student named "Tunda." While Sabrina struggles to break free from her trollish prison, the impostor wreaks havoc at her school, turning heads—including the school bully’s—under his new guise. Written by Mike Gallagher and illustrated by Dave Manak, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Vickie Williams, this Double Digest tale blends magical mischief with high school drama. The cover, by Tim and Pat Kennedy with inks by Mike DeCarlo, captures the clash of worlds in bold, playful style.
