** From 1972 to 1974, Archie published ''Chilling Adventures in Sorcery as Told By Sabrina''. It had the odd combination of [[http://www.misterkitty.org/extras/stupidcovers/stupidcomics284.html straight-up horror stories]] with art in the familiar Archie house style. Sabrina plays the role of Horror Host. One story in particular stands out, featuring a boy who teases a stutterer at school. The kindly teacher happens to be a witch, and gives him an enchanted book that ''melts his face off'', and possibly kills him! The story probably violated several rules under UsefulNotes/TheComicsCode, but somehow gained the CCA seal of approval (perhaps because Archie pretty much ''ran'' the CCA?)

* IntimateLotionApplication: {{Subverted|Trope}} in issue #6. Sabrina's LoveInterest Harvey offers to rub lotion on her back, only to be puzzled and disappointed to discover she has already done so on her own. Since she's a witch, she did it via magic but has to lie to him by claiming she's double-jointed.

* TheMasquerade: Prior to her 1990s retooling, downplayed almost to the point of TheUnmasquedWorld, in that Sabrina’s being a witch is at least an open secret among her friends, though she looks, dresses and acts (mostly) like a normal teenage girl, while her aunts actively try to hide their natures despite looking, dressing and often as not acting like stereotypical Halloween witches. The adults in the comic never quite penetrate the masquerade.

** In Issue #41, during a bitter fight with her family, Sabrina wishes that she wasn't a Spellman. Unbeknownst to the family, Enchantra, the Head Witch, was watching them and granted Sabrina's wish, sending her outside of the house. When the teenager went to confront her family again, she was shocked that her wish came true when everyone tells her that they don't know her. A heartbroken Sabrina cries at the park at how she lost her family because of her selfishness. Sandy, a fellow witch turned squirrel, overhears the teenage girl's sorrows and comforts her about her situation. Sabrina, with Sandy's help, convinces Enchantra to undo her wish. After she reconciles with her family, she then wishes to turn Sandy back into a witch as gratitude for helping her.

* {{Clownification}}: One story has Sabrina catch a cold from a clown that sneezed on her at the carnival. Due to a combination of "clown germs" and Sabrina's magic, anyone close to her would turn into a clown whenever she sneezed.
