W.i.t.c.h.

A beloved Italian import that took Europe by storm, W.i.t.c.h. (2001–2012) follows five ordinary teenage girls—Will, Irma, Tasha, Cornelia, and Hay Lin—who are chosen to become the Guardians of the Veil, elemental superheroes sworn to protect the universe from dark forces. Published by Egmont Ehapa, this long-running series (129 issues) blended magical-girl action with the relatable dramas of friendship, school, and first crushes, creating a warm, empowering saga. Most closely associated with creator Elisabetta Gnone and a team of talented Disney Italia artists, it stands as a defining 2000s franchise that proved comics could speak directly to a young female audience with both heart and adventure.
