Now for the first time, the writers from the television series, including the show’s creator, Joss Whedon, and one of its stars, Amber "Tara" Benson, present the tales of these girls, with the help of comics’ greatest artists.

Craig Russell ( Dr. Strange , The Ring of the Nibelung ) and international rising star Mira Friedmann ( Actus Tragicus ) also join the stellar lineup.

The definitive comics collection of all things Buffy starts here. This first massive volume begins at the beginning- The Origin , a faithful adaptation of creator Joss Whedon’s original screenplay for the film that started it all.
