Power of Five W.I.T.C.H. #1 adapted by Elizabeth Lenhard
It airs on Disney/ABC but I believe has been translated from a japanese series.
The text is book and it starts and ends with an vibrant color comics that kickstart the imagination. It's a story within a graphic novel. Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin (W.i.t.c.h.) are five ordinary friends with an extraordinary secret: they each have the power to control a natural element -- air, water, fire, earth, and finally, the mysterious "Heart of Candracar." The girls use their powers to guard against evil and to uncover the truth behind mysterious portals leading to other worlds.

Interesting series and it is super popular and the books are always checked out. I like the comic element and believe a true graphic novels are coming out summer 2005 so we'll see how it graduates.
