Slightly OT: Sabrina's horror comic

Some time in the mid-Seventies, Archie Comics did a comic with Sabrina that was sort of like "Tales from the Crypt"/"Twilight Zone". Sabrina was the comic's narrator and the stories were NOT funny! In fact, a few of them were downright terrifying. Though it ran for more than one issue, I remember three specific stories: One was called "Sonny's World" and seemed like a cross between "The Twilight Zone" episodes "It's a Good Life" and "A World of His Own". It was about a little boy who claimed to have powers to make anything that he imagined become reality. His mother doesn't believe him until he makes a weird creature materialize for her. Another story was about a boy with a stuttering problem being teased by a bully at his school. This draws the attention of a teacher who happens to be a witch and she uses her powers to help the stutterer. The third one was about a girl who receives a strange-looking brooch. Whenever she wears it, if she sees someone get hurt, she laughs about it. The bigger the injury, the more she laughed. The ending of this story really scared me!

Does anyone remember this comic book? Do you remember the title? I'd like to find the back issues.

I found the comic! It was called "Chilling Adventures in Sorcery as Told by Sabrina" and was published in 1972. The story about the brooch was called "The Cameo's Curse" and the one with the stuttering boy was called "Assignment in Fear". I think Sabrina was only the narrator for the first three issues, but it ran for over ten.
