Melaka Fray

Melaka Fray is a Slayer — humanity's chosen vampire hunter — living centuries in the future, in a crumbling urban world that has long forgotten demons and magic exist. Raised on the streets, she discovers her birthright as the first Slayer called in generations.

Born into the gritty, far-future streets of a world that had forgotten its own mythologies, Melaka Fray burst onto the scene in 2001 as the centerpiece of Joss Whedon and Karl Moline's Fray — a landmark Dark Horse miniseries that proved superhero and horror comics could feel genuinely new again in the Modern Age. Her story unfolds across her own series and into the pages of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, where she shares adventures alongside the enigmatic Harth Fray, weaving her into a larger tapestry of Dark Horse's mythology. With Whedon himself at the helm for her debut, she carries serious creative pedigree, and her key-issue origins in Fray #1 make her a title worth tracking down for any collector who loves comics that build their own worlds from scratch.
