Buffy comics
Encyclopedia
Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics refer to comic books based on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While many of these comics were published when the television show was on air they are not all considered canonical and often deal with characters who do not appear on in the television series, most notably in the Tales of the Slayers
and Tales of the Vampires
mini-series.
The books were published by Dark Horse Comics
between 1998 and 2004, originally in comic format but then gathered into volumes of trade paperback
s. A small number of Buffy comics have not been included in trade paperbacks, such as the books entitled "Giles", "Jonathan", and "Reunion".
There has also been an unofficial parody – a sexually explicit satirical graphic novel, Boffy the Vampire Layer, which was not officially licensed as Buffy merchandise by 20th Century Fox. It was published by Eros Graphic Albums in 2002.
, series creator Joss Whedon
and a number of writers involved with the television series authored many of the comic books. Overviews summarizing the comic books' storylines were written early in the writing process and were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as official Buffy merchandise.
The Buffy comic takes place in between episodes of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Joss Whedon and continues after the television series has ended. Issues 1 to 63 take place in the storyline during the period that the series was still on air and none are written by Joss Whedon himself. The earlier issues are not very easy to place in the series except for the season it takes place in, such as Issue 1. The comic gets more specific later on, however, such as with the Oz
Buffy comics which fills in the story line of a character and Death of Buffy which clearly takes place between Seasons 5 and 6 of the series.
Starting in 2007 a new series of Buffy comics has been produced, also published by Dark Horse Comics
. These are a canonical continuation of the television series and as such are considered Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight
. One of the other comics considered canon is the 8-part series Fray
, since the main character, Melaka Fray, appears in Season 8.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight takes place after the series has ended and the issues connected are written by Joss Whedon to continue the storyline.
Dark Horse published these comics, that were only later collected into the trade paperbacks described above:
