The Magic Comic
''The Magic Comic'' was a British comics magazine. It was the ill-fated third comics magazine from DC Thomson (after ''The Beano'' and ''The Dandy''). It was aimed at a younger audience, with more emphasis on picture stories. The first issue was published on 22 July 1939. The comic ran for only 80 issues until 25 January 1941. Paper rationing resulting from the outbreak of the Second World War caused its demise. Its Editor Bill Powrie promised that 'the Magic' would return; however, he was killed in action in 1942. Two annuals, named '' The Magic Fun Book'', were also published in 1941 and 1942. From 1943 to 1949, ''The Magic Comic'' would share its annual with ''The Beano'', under the title, '' The Magic-Beano Book''.

The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter.

Witch Wanda
Witchcraft traditionally means the use of magic or supernatural powers to harm others. A practitioner is a witch. In medieval and early modern Europe, where the term originated, accused witches were usually women who were believed to have used malevolent magic against their own community, and often to have communed with evil beings. It was thought witchcraft could be thwarted by protective magic or counter-magic, which could be provided by cunning folk or folk healers.
