About the author
Giorgio Pezzin
143 books3 followersCartoonist.
An engineering graduate, he started writing comics since high school. He began his career as a screenwriter when he met an older two-year-old illustrator, Giorgio Cavazzano, who needed someone who could help him emerge as an independent artist. Pezzin began collaborating with Arnoldo Mondadori Editore, for which the Pezzin-Cavazzano duo produced numerous stories published both on Almanacco Topolino and on other Disney magazines. But Pezzin didn't just write Disney stories. Assisted by Cavazzano for the drawings, Pezzin wrote the texts of the series (created by him) Walkie and Talkie, Oscar and Tango, Smalto and Jonnhy and Captain Rogers. Later the duo separated and Pezzin, always continuing to work for Mondadori, also wrote comic stories for Bonelli like some by Zagor and several by Il piccolo ranger.
After the comic book Topolino passes from Mondadori to Disney Italia, Pezzin starts dedicating itself almost exclusively to Disney characters, creating stories for various magazines such as Paperinik, Minni & company etc.
With the designer Massimo De Vita he has designed numerous successful Disney comic sagas such as Once Upon a Time ... in America, The Lords of the Galaxy, the Adventures of Tops de Tops and the Time Machine Saga. He also scripted stories for younger children like those of Cip and Ciop and the Little Mermaid.
In recent years Pezzin has stopped collaborating with Disney and has dedicated himself to the scripts of the Winx comic stories, published on the Winx Club.

I recently went into a nostalgia-fueled trip and ended up watching all 4 seasons of Winx Club (I decided to skip the others because of the butchering all characters go through, my heart can't take that) and found that there are comics too! I'll obviously go on a reading rampage with these too, before I decide to rewatch everything again.
Annoying intro done, this was a super cute read. It's refreshing to see the girls in another medium! And I'm looking forward to the differences between the cartoon and comics.
Expect lots more of Winx ranting from now on.

Bueno, las Winx son mi infancia y poder leer sus aventuras creo que es una buena manera de recordarlas ♥.
Tal vez el hecho de que he leído este cómic muchas veces me lo ha hecho un poquitín aburrido, pero mi corazón de niña lo ama aún así.
Este primer tomo nos cuenta los comienzos del grupo de hadas y nos deja algunos misterio que resolver, los cuales regalan intriga a la trama por saber que ocurrirá más adelante. Aquellxs que hayan visto la serie claramente sabrán lo que ocurre.

i remember spending my precious kid allowance on buying new winx club magazines whenever it’s released. the girls were part of my childhood and maybe one day, i’ll read them all. it’s actually surprising that i remembered the characters very clearly even though the plot is forgotten.

Honestly I was excited to find these, since the show was one of my favourites as a child. But the version I found had the pages in an incorrect order, and the story was the exact same as the television show, to the point where they had the exact same jokes and had just taken frames from the show and inserted them into the comic. I don't know what I was expecting, but maybe something a little bit more creative.

Rereading all of these for the first time since... what, maybe 2010?
Part 1 is pretty much the 2nd episode, a tad changed and condensed. The art is so pretty, I'm in love. Can't wait to see more of my favorite fairies.

The Castle follows the first day of Alfea for Bloom and friends, and a quick introduction to the realm of Magix.
It follows the storyline of the series, with some scenes being almost exactly the same as those in Season 1, Episode 2 “Welcome to Magix!”.
I enjoyed the focus on this episode of the friendships forming between the girls. Whilst Stella and Bloom almost immediately hit it off and become best friends, some of the others not so much. Tecna being a bit abrasive and annoying the other characters is something that is leant into a lot later in the series for larger plot points, so I liked that these parts were shown.
There’s some brilliant artwork throughout the book, including the introduction of Alfea, the Trix and Bloom’s first transformation. There’s also a couple of pieces which look like they’ve been pulled from the TV Series’s storyboard and are a bit more rough. I’ve always enjoyed the overall art style, and the comic just shows even more of it.

REREAD!
I remember reading Winx club and the W.I.T.C.H. series every week when they were released. I also grow up with animated series. I was following the franchise from Turkey so I am not sure if it was the same published issues or not as in my childhood but here we go. The storyline is the same as the animated series but this is not bothering me since I am living for nostalgia. The artwork is just so warm, and welcoming and makes me happy as always. characters are designed as fashion models and I appreciate wonderful outfit designs. The design of Magix and alfea is also very nice. I have too much to say about these comics. I will keep up with reviews in next issues.
Of course, I recommend reading this to anyone but I might be too biased because of my childhood memories.
Happy Reading!

Çocukluğuma geri dönmek için bu Winx serisini okumaya karar verdim, ama bu sefer İngilizce, şaşırtıcı bir şekilde bazı yeni kavramlar öğrendim, Winx’in İngilizcemi geliştireceğini bilmiyordum, 152 sayısı var ve hepsini okumaya kafamı koydum, velhasıl, win win 🤙

Good intro to the series because you get right into Bloom starting at Alfea, but you're not told her background, so you read on to figure that out and find out what happens next.

I love that these comics always have a bunch of pages for games, quizzes, and interviews with the fairies (yes, they're fictional but who cares?) and other fun activities. You're not buying only a story, you also get loads of fun activities to do with your friends too!
Wonderfully girly, pretty and fun! Creating a fairy club with your best friends?? Who wouldn't want that? Highly recommend this book if you are a fan of the Winx Club series or even if you are new to this and want to read something with girl power and magic!

rereading these comics i religiously bought and read the very first day that each issue came out when i was a kid.
i deeply loved (and love) the show and these comics, i was such a big fan of the Winx when i was a kid. i want to try to reread all the comic issues.
it starts off with Bloom meeting Alfea, the world, and becoming friends with Stella, Flora, Musa and Techna. she encounters some issues and mysteries bloom around.
