Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike and Dru is an American comic book limited series of the horror & romance genres. It is based on the popular WB Network television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and spotlights two of the most famed villains from the series, Spike and Drusilla - both of whom are amoral vampires, whose lust for one another is in equal measure to their desire to spread carnage wherever they go. The series is a spin-off project of the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer comic series. The title ran for three issues from April, 1999 to December, 2000. All three issues were collected in trade paperback format. The series was written by Christopher Golden and James Marsters with artwork by Ryan Sook and coloring by Guy Major. All three issues were edited by Scott Allie as well as Ben Abernathy and Adam Gallardo.
