Menelik the first comic book published bearing character Maghella in 1974

Maghella is an Italian comic book erotic character. She is a young woman with magic powers. She is a witch.[1] She was created by Dino Leonetti, the famous comic artist with text by Furio Arrasich.[2]

The Maghella comic book was published in 1974.[3] She made her first appearance as lead character in Erotic comic, which was named Menelik published in 1974 by Publistrip.[4] and there were 140 issues published by Publistrip from January 1974 to March 1981. Later on, 7 issues were published by Ediperiodici from June 1987 to December 1987. The comic books were published also in France.[5][6]

The girl is identified by two braids of black hair and giant breasts with unspecified powers and magic, hence is also known as little witch. Her most typical exclamation is "Holy Shit", repeated in every adventure and evidently these are also the first words, she speaks in the first appearance in comic book Menelik.

Maghella is one of many such characters from the Italian fumetti tradition. Other figures from the same era, and with similarly violent or erotic preoccupations, include Zora la Vampira, Lucifera, Biancaneve, Vartan, Jacula, Jolanda de Almaviva, Sukia, and Yra.[7][8]

A film inspired from charterer also named "Maghella" was made in 1974 shot by noted French film director, Francis Leroi[9]
