Della the Head Witch

Few characters carry a title quite like Head Witch, and Della has worn hers since 1971, when Frank Doyle and Stan Goldberg introduced her into the sun-drenched, spell-laced world of Archie Comics' Bronze Age. Orbiting the beloved Sabrina Spellman and the familiar faces of Riverdale — Archie, Betty, Veronica, and the rest — Della has proven surprisingly durable, her presence stretching across five decades and turning up everywhere from the classic Sabrina, the Teenage Witch to the delightfully dark Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. With nearly 50 catalogued appearances spanning all the way to 2022, she's a testament to how richly layered the witchy corners of the Archie universe truly are — a figure of authority and mystique who keeps excellent, if occasionally chaotic, company.
