Wasn't going to be done by one of the 'Rising Starts' runner-ups? Thought someone mentioned it earlier.
Edit: i thought so, Aaron White posted it before

I remember seeing some really rawnchy hentai Archie's back in me uni days. They were obviously doujinshi like but drawn as the original. Can't see the point really after seeing the originals in colour.

ugh... just ugh...
It'll be intresting if they finally give Aunt Hilda and Zelda a makeover for it though. Never got how in the tv renditions there were all... not witchy warty looking. |

I don't know if anyone remembers this, but, back in the late 1970s/early 1980s, Archie Comics did a spin-off line of comics with younger versions of their characters, with the most famous being Li'l Archie. There was also a kiddy version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which, I guess, was called Li'l Sabrina. (I don't remember if that was the exact title; it's been two decades since I've read Archie, not counting the crappy Sunday newspaper strips.)
If I think about it now, the way Li'l Sabrina was drawn actually vaguely resembled the way your typical anime "magical girl" heroine is drawn, at least with the face (she didn't have an elaborate costume), though, considering they wouldn't export anything in the way of "magical girl" anime to North America for another decade-and-a-half or so, this would have been purely coincidental, due to American and Japanese artists independently using the same cartoon conventions as to how to draw stylized children's faces. |
