Tales of the Vampires #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the five-issue miniseries Tales of the Vampires, a spin-off from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics universe. Published by Dark Horse in 2004, the volume features a series of standalone stories exploring the histories, motivations, and dark deeds of various vampires from the Buffy mythos, with contributions from writers and artists including Joss Whedon, Drew Goddard, and Tim Sale.
In this haunting 2004 tale from Dark Horse, a young Kansas farmer’s life unravels in the 1930s when his mother transforms him into a vampire—then forces him to kill her. Written by Jane Espenson and illustrated by Jeff Parker, this atmospheric story explores the raw, solitary burden of undeath, as the young man grapples with his new existence in a world that no longer feels like home. The cover, a striking piece by Mike Mignola, captures the gothic mood of the tale with its stark, shadowed elegance.
In the bleak heart of the 1930s Dust Bowl, Joe Cooper—once a Kansas farmer—wakes to a hunger he can’t name and a past he can’t remember. Now bound by a curse he didn’t choose, he must navigate a world where every shadow holds a secret and every breath could be his last.
Edna Fairweather confronts a shocking truth: Sophie Downs is Roche’s long-lost sire. In the aftermath of a violent struggle, Dunworthy intervenes, ending Sophie’s life. With the past laid bare, Edna chooses to share her story with Roger, the son of Mr. Giles, the baker, as a final reckoning with what came before.
