| Notes | First appearance of Valerie. First appearance of the Pussycats musical group. The scripts in this issue are identifiable as Malmgren by his distinctive writing style. Because of the change in writers, the rules concerning Alexandra's witchcraft powers are different from the previous two issues: Sebastian does not appear in this issue (she can now cast spells without him) and anyone, not just Melody, can break her spell with a snap of the fingers. |
