Remember the Lies

The subject of this article is non-canonical. While created as part of licensed material, it has not been confirmed as part of the "real" Buffyverse continuity.

Remember the Lies is the thirty-sixth issue of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Classic" series. It was written by Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe and illustrated by Cliff Richards.

SynopsisEdit

Dawn has vanished without a trace and the Scooby gang has no clue where to find her. As they try to deduce her whereabouts, Buffy turns Sunnydale (and a whole lot of vampires) upside-down in her search. Spike suspects that Dawn's disappearance has something to do with a former Slayer turned vampire, the deadly Yuki Makimura. It looks like this Vampire Slayer must go up against a Slayer Vampire. Could things get any worse? Don't ask!^[1]
