Publisher’s description

Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, regroups with the writers from the hit TV show to examine the monsters who've challenged the Slayers through the ages. Kicking off the new series, Whedon teams with one of comics' hottest new stars, Catwoman artist Cameron Stewart, for a look at what happens when disaffected youth turns to vampirism. Also Drew Goddard brings us the story of how Drucilla (of the infamousSpike and Dru) went crazy during their time in Prague before reigning their terror on Sunnydale. Get an early taste of Tales of the Vampires in Drawing on Your Nightmares, featuring Brett Matthews (Spider-Man/Wolverine) and Sean Phillips (Sleeper), on sale in October. John Totleben (Swamp Thing, Miracle Man) provides a haunting cover to the perfect book for people left wanting more after the series finale of Buffy and the last issue of Fray!
