W.i.t.c.h.

The long-running Italian series W.I.T.C.H. (2001–2012, Egmont) follows five teenage girls—Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin—who are chosen as the new Guardians of the Veil, tasked with protecting the universe from dark forces. Blending magical girl adventure with slice-of-life drama, the series was defined by the rotating creative teams at Disney Italy, with notable contributions from co-creator Elisabetta Gnone and artists like Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa. Over its 129-issue run, it became a defining property of early-2000s tween comics, celebrated for its stylish art, strong character dynamics, and its seamless fusion of fantasy, friendship, and everyday teen struggles.
