Courtney Crumrin
Courtney Crumrin is the sassy young protagonist of Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin comics.

The first series Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things sees Courtney and her less-than-intelligent parents move into the creepy house of her mysterious great-uncle Aloysius, located in a snobby upper-class neighbourhood. Her parents keep themselves occupied with their attempts to climb the social ladder and are completely oblivious to their daughter.

Courtney meanwhile gets to deal with school and her snobby classmates and discovers that there are stranger beings that reside in and around the house. She also discovers that there's more to great-uncle Aloysius than meets the eye.

In Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of the Mystics Courtney is introduced to the other witches and warlocks in the neighbourhood and also a dose of coven politics. Meanwhile a monster is on the rampage, a witch is cursed and Courtney is in the thick of things once again.
