Dark Horse Comics has announced its November solicitations, including one title of special interest to all Buffy fans. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales will collect what appears to be all the Buffyverse comic short stories that Dark Horse has published thus far, in a variety of different comic books, in one convenient hardcover book. More after the jump.
The 296-page Tales will go on sale the 19th of January for $29.95. Here's how Dark Horse describes it...
"Before Season Eight, Joss Whedon brought generations of Slayers and vampires to comics with the help of his acclaimed TV writing team and some of the best artists to ever grace the comics page. Now all those stories, plus selected stories from Season Eight, are collected in one deluxe hardcover with a new cover by Jo Chen.
"Joss writes multiple tales: a somber vamp tale, drawn by Cameron Stewart; the story of the first Slayer, drawn by Leinil Yu; and more.
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales also reprints for the first time new Season Eight stories written by novelist Jackie Kessler (Hell's Belles) and award-winning cartoonist Becky Cloonan (Demo), featuring vampires living in the public eye, killing Slayers and killing each other.
"This hardcover collects stories from MySpace Dark Horse Presents #31 and #32; Tales of the Vampires: Carpe Noctem parts 1 and 2; Buffy: Tales of the Vampires one-shot; Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires #1–#5; Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Slayers #1—"Broken Bottle of Djinn"; Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Slayers TPB."
Besides Whedon, among the writers and artists featured are such familar names as Amber Benson, Jane Espenson, Drew Goddard, Gene Colan, Tim Sale, Paul Lee, Steve Lieber, and Andy Owens.
