Wendy the Good Little Witch is a fictional character from Harvey Comics. Wendy was introduced as a back-up feature as well as a companion for Casper in "Casper the Friendly Ghost" #20, May 1954. Soon, she was trialed in Harvey Hits, starting with #7. After a total of six appearances, she received her own title, "Wendy the Good Little Witch", in 1960. Other ancilary titles featuring the pleasant young witch include "Wendy Witch World" (October 1961 - September 1974), and "Casper and Wendy" (September 1972 to November 1973). Another "Wendy the Good Little Witch" comic ran from April 1991 to August 1994, and a three issue "Wendy And The New Kids On The Block" that saw print in 1991.
In addition to Casper, the Wendy comics frequently feature Wendy's "aunties" Thelma, Velma and Zelma, with whom she shares a cottage in a haunted forest. A popular plotline has the aunts becoming frustrated over Wendy's determination to use her magic powers to do good only.
Like many of Harvey's stable, Wendy is a design variation on the prototype of Casper. So are Richie Rich, Gloria Glad, Little Dot and others.
She has appeared in various other media including television and film.
Other Media
"Christina Ricci"'s character of Kat in the "Casper" movie was originally named Wendy in the Script but changed at the last minute because otherwise Universal would have been required to buy the rights to her character as well. However, several hints that her character was originally Wendy still made it into the film, such as the red hoodie she wears in the film during one scene that resembles her robe from the comics.
Wendy was played by Hilary Duff in the 1998 direct to video film "Casper Meets Wendy".
