Buffy The Vampire Slayer

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #58

By Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza and Cliff Richards, cover by Paul Lee and Brian Horton.

Slayer, Interrupted, part 3 of 4. Most people would find life in a mental institution unsettling enough, but for the Slayer things are even worse. She assumed the girls who said they were brides to the demon Rakagore were just crazy-but when Rakagore actually shows up, the only thing more bizarre than his appearance is who he was hiding behind. Can a medicated Buffy deal with a demon with a taste for hospitalized young women, or will she have to call on help from outside?

By Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza and Cliff Richards, cover by Paul Lee and Brian Horton.

The Buffy saga takes a bold new direction. It’s 1996, and Buffy Summers has just accepted her role as the Vampire Slayer. After the destruction of her high school, she flees to Las Vegas to sort out her life, but there’s more than Wayne Newton and hookers in the city of sin. A twisted coven den of vampires has big plans for the strip. Dark Horse takes you where the TV show never did, back to Buffy’s roots, in the summer before she arrived in Sunnydale. And there’s a tall, dark, and handsome stranger keeping an eye on her during those dangerous nights in Vegas.
