BUFFY #1-#9

Buffy comics refers to comic books based on the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series). While many of these comics were published when the television show was on air they are not considered canonical and often deal with characters that do not appear on in the television series, most notably in the Tales of the Slayers and Tales of the Vampires mini-series'.

Despite not being canonical, series creator Joss Whedon and a number of writers involved with the television series authored many of the comic books which elevates them above the level of fan fiction in many people's eyes. Overviews summarizing the comic books' storylines were written early in the writing process and were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as official Buffy merchandise.

The books were published by Dark Horse Comics between 1998 and 2004, originally in comic format but then gathered into volumes of trade paperbacks. A small number of Buffy comics have not been included in trade paperbacks such as the books entitled "Giles", "Jonathan", and "Reunion".

Starting in 2007 a new series of Buffy comics has been produced, also published by Dark Horse Comics. These are a canonical continuation of the television series and as such are considered Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight.
