'''''Courtney Crumrin''''' is an independent comic book series written and illustrated by Ted Naifeh, and published by Oni Press. It is made up of ''Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things'', ''Courtney Crumrin and the Coven of Mystics'', ''Courtney Crumrin in the Twilight Kingdom'', ''Courtney Crumrin's Monstrous Holiday'', ''Courtney Crumrin: The Witch Next Door'', and ''Courtney Crumrin: The Final Spell''.
Courtney is an [[Strange Girl|odd little girl]] who doesn't quite fit in. When she and her parents have to move to her uncle's old mansion, she must adjust to a whole new school in a neighborhood she isn't entirely comfortable with; however, things quickly take a turn for the better, as she meets the strange and interesting individuals that live in and around her uncle's house.
