You've heard rumblings about this; now I can give you all the details.
November 28, Dark Horse will release Tales of the Slayer, an original trade
paperback featuring stories of Slayers through the ages, all by writers (and
one star!) from the show, and drawn by some of comics' finest talents.
 The cover, pictured here, is by Tim Sale, the artist behind such recent
masterpieces as Batman: The Long Halloween, Superman for All Seasons, and
the current hit, Daredevil: Yellow. This cover was the result of meetings
between Joss and Tim. As usual, Joss had a very specific idea of what he
wanted, and Tim knocked it out of the park. Tim and Joss will also
collaborate on the second story in the book, featuring a medieval Slayer in
a very sunless world. The first story in the book is also written by Joss,
and it features the Primitive, seen previously on the TV series, and soon to
make a cameo in Fray. This story is drawn by Leinil Francis Yu, Marvel
wunderkind, one of the most exciting young superhero artists. He's finishing
up an exclusive contract with Marvel, and his first new work away from them
is also his first work for our company.
Jane Espenson marks her return to comics, joining one of the greatest
storytellers in the industry: P. Craig Russell, artist of Dark Horse's Ring
of the Nibelung series. Jane's beautiful story is artfully told by a real
master of the comics form, whose work in the last twenty-five years has
shown comics to be capable of all the subtlety and grace of any other
medium.
Amber ("Tara") Benson, fresh off the popular Willow and Tara oneshot,
strikes out on her own with a tale from the French Revolution. This Slayer
tale is drawn by Ted Naifeh, the distinctive young artist of Gloom Cookie
from Slave Labor Graphics and this summer's Nocturnals from Oni Press.
David Fury, whose previous comics work is limited to one brief and
hard-to-find collaboration with Ryan Sook in a TV Guide promo, gives us one
of the longer stories in the book, featuring a Slayer from the Old West.
David teams with Steve Lieber, artist of the much-lauded and award-winning
Whiteout series from Oni. Steve was Joss's first choice for this one, and
David and Steve have come up with a unique look for this
spaghetti-western-styled tale.
Rebecca Rand Kirshner, whose previous comics work is far from mainstream,
having contributed to the Harvard Lampoon during her days there as a
student. With her alternative-comix background, she wanted a REALLY
different look to her story. So we've hired Mira Friedmann, Israeli
cartoonist from the Actus Tragicus group (see the Top Shelf website), who's
bringing a truly unique vision to this book.
Doug Petrie was the first of the Buffy TV writers to do comics with me, and
so I teamed him with an artist of respectable vintage: Gene Colan, who's
worked for every company around, including the great EC Comics of the1950s,
is drawing a story that was tailor made for him. In the 1970s, Gene worked
on a little book called Tomb of Dracula, in which he created a vampire
slayer named Blade. So Gene's returning to the '70s in New York, and an
African American vampire Slayer. And Doug's revisiting familiar territory
too: He's telling the story of Nikki, the Slayer he wrote about last season.
The one Spike killed, and from whom he took his famous black leather. This
is a real tour de force, some of the finest work from Gene's long and
distinguished career. That sounds like hyperbole, but wait till you see it.
Gene's on the money here. He was the first artist to commit to the project;
Doug told me the story he wanted to do, and I told him, You know who'd be
perfect? I knew Doug was a fan, since the scripts to his Ring of Fire
graphic novel featured references to Gene's work. Gene, who'd previously
worked with me on a Curse of Dracula series a few years ago, accepted, and
was glad he did, later saying that there was something magical about the
script, that once he read it he knew exactly how he should draw it. Expect
to see these two teaming up again before long.
And the book is wrapped up by a final story from Joss, joined by the whole
Fray team, as the future Slayer looks back over her heritage. So if you feel
like diving into three new stories from Joss and contributions by the people
he works with daily--plus a fantastic team of illustrators--look for this
book in November. Or ask for it for Chrismas. It's 96 pages of beautifully
drawn and colored adventure, done exactly the way Buffy fans like to see it.
And I don't mean an imitation. This is the real thing.
