Behind the scenes
Dark Horse Comics published its first Buffy graphic in 1998 ("Dust Waltz"). The initial stories a non-canon extension of the television series with little to no input from its writers (this series was later retitled Classic). In 2003 production on the Buffy meta-series halted and Dark Horse started producing canonical works in other meta-series (Tales of the Slayers, Tales of the Vampires, 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. In 2014 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten followed. In 2016 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eleven followed, with only 12 issues, and it began the Buffy: The High School Years, set during season 1 and 2 of the television series.
