Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The terrible twosome of Spike and Dru take centre stage in this spin off graphic novel from the hit TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Written by fan favourite Christopher Golden and James Marsters, the actor who plays the handsome and devilish Spike on the show, these four stories follow the vampire lovers on a wild killing spree that takes in the World Fair in 1930s Chicago and China in the 1900s.

Although each tale is separate, they are all connected by the acute dissection of the bizarre love/hate relationship the two have. This is a love affair that thrives on sickening acts of violence and terror, inflicted both on hapless innocents and each other, where torture replaces sexual foreplay and the need for survival in a world that despises vampire fuels their codependency. Each tale hits the right note in terms of story and character and Marsters shows a deft hand for scripting comic stories; he also adds a sense of Spike's true character which other writers have bravely attempted but failed. Druisilla is the most powerful character here and her insanity comes to the fore on plenty of occasions as she whispers of her dark visions, allowing the writers to concoct some beautiful lines for her.

Christopher Golden however has reached new heights with this book and proves that he is easily producing the best Buffy spin off works, stories that stay true and faithful to the screen while taking readers on wild rides that the show could only ever hope to accomplish. His love for the characters shines through every word and panel and he adds so much depth to what are already well rounded characters.

Spike and Dru have already become fan favourites on the screen and this offering is the best Buffy graphic novel yet, mixing sharp and intelligent writing, with dark and brooding artwork that evokes both the sinister and the sexy. --Jonathan Weir

Product Description
Four tales of the most vile, murderous and destructive couple ever to visit Sunnydale. Presented in one volume, this collection covers an entire century of bloodshed form China in 1990 to Rio in 1999. Plus the final word on the duo, the 10-page epilogue "Who Made Who?" telling the story of their final farewell in Brazil, referred to but never delved into on the show.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 25 Jan 2002
This is a great graphic novel (and I don't usually like graphic novels so that's saying something..) It really does the two characters justice. If these un-holy adventures are anything to go by, Joss Whedon should really consider letting Christopher Golden and James Marsters inside the writing room on the TV show itself. The stories are sick and brilliant.

Spike and Drusilla are two of the greatest character creations in recent memory.

Heartily recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun, 22 Jul 2001
By A Customer
These tales of Spike and Dru are great fun, and fill in some gaps very nicely. I would have given it a 5 but I dont actually like the art work. Still, nice one, glad I bought it.

I loved this comic book! I loved Spike in Buffy and these stories are great. The drawings are really expressive and you can tell that a lot of love and care was put into this works creation. Everyone should own a copy!
