Cop with a Wand


In the course of her job, plainclothes cop Daisy Hudson discovered that she was a Witch, a very powerful Witch, and that she could use her magic to aid in her police work. She attempted to keep her powers secret, but was eventually found out by her partner (and later romantic partner) Herb Farrell. Then ordinary crime in the city and surrounding area began to be overshadowed by the evil deeds of the gray men. Tall, skinny, ugly, and gray skinned, these Warlocks from an unknown place were attempting to take over the government. It fell to Daisy to locate the local coven and enlist their aid in escalating the battle against the gray men.
