And now we get a BtVS coffee table book too!

Certainly a day of Buffy goodness today - we now have the cover and blurb for BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: PANEL TO PANEL. It's a retrospective collection of the artwork that has been in all the Buffy comics (other than the current run, I'm assuming - wrongly perhaps?) over the last 10 years.



Blurb:
"BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: PANEL TO PANEL

Written and art by various.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, captivating cult phenomenon and one of the most critically acclaimed TV series of the last decade, burst into the comics realm in August of 1998. Nearly every year since, the rich thematic material of good vs. evil, Slayer vs. vampire, friendship vs. isolation, and black vs. the new black has been explored at Dark Horse in over a hundred different issues -- and by the biggest luminaries in the business. The stunning visuals unachievable on a small-screen budget have come to life, realized by Chris Bachalo, J. Scott Campbell, Jeff Matsuda, Mike Mignola, Terry Moore, Eric Powell, Cliff Richards, Tim Sale, and Ryan Sook, among others. Take a look back at the most dynamic and memorable line art and paintings from the first ten years of the Slayer in comics.

192 pages, $19.95, in stores on Nov. 14."

and the cover (which I think is just wonderful - even if it looks nothing like Buffy which was a very common problem for me in many of the early books.)

Oh, I want this. I want this real bad :)

My only hesitation is that some of the early art work is fairly crappy! There's one panel I was looking at last week and there is Buffy, Dawn, Anya and Tara in the shot. I can't tell the difference between any of them - not even by hair colour!

*sigh*

In some ways I get why the early comics didn't do so well a lot of the time.
