Behind the Scenes

• Dark Horse Comics published its first Buffy comic story in 1998: "Dust Waltz". The initial stories were a non-canon extension of the television series, with little to no input from its writers. This series was later retitled Classic, to differentiate from the upcoming canon series.
• In 2003, the production for the Buffy meta-series halted and Dark Horse started producing canonical works in other meta-series: Tales and Fray.
• In 2007, after a four year publishing hiatus, the first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, the canonical continuation of the TV series was published. In 2011, Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Nine followed, then in 2014 with Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten, and in 2016 with Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eleven.
• In 2016, it began the Buffy: The High School Years, set during season 1 of the television series.
