How many variations are there of Hansel and Gretel?

Not really being a fan of this morbid tale, I would imagine there are variations. A very modern and sophisticated (derivative) existed in a lengthy plot which had morbid overtones, inthe comic strip the Jackson Twins in about l962. The Jackson Twins were very pro-social types and drove around in a l922 Model T Ford that was called the T for Two a pun on the popular song. While qwuite plausible and using the somewhat disreputable (dangerous senior citizens) plot device,Couched in sixties suburbia the plot had soem overtones of H&G with subharmonics of soem of Poe"s tales and a bit of counterespionage a la Hardy Boys. All came out well as the Girls had agreed upon a variety of emergency plans is things went wrong when interviewing the (strtange old twin sisters)actually only one woman, but if you can dig it up- read on.The noiton of working closely with the police (no beatnicks here) and using (underground) tactics, I thing one of the Girls played (Tea for Two) on the Organ to alert the cops of the abduction- or the police used this as a counter-signal( we are on the scene. Ina sense it(the original is a sort of proto spy story. Now we have GPS and Jeep Trackers...
