Buffy

Buffy (1995–present, Fantagraphics) is a four-issue comic series that offers a darkly playful take on the vampire-slaying mythos, distinct from the more famous TV version. Written and drawn primarily by Dementia and Tom Sutton, this short run from the mid-90s blends horror and black comedy with a raw, underground-comics sensibility. Its significance lies in being an early, offbeat comic interpretation of the Buffy concept, predating the television show’s cultural dominance.
