Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ugly Little Monsters

A single-issue 2002 Dark Horse one-shot, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ugly Little Monsters offers a standalone, monster-centric vignette from the show's original comic run. Written by Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe, with art by Cliff Richards, it captures the series' signature blend of supernatural horror and witty character moments. Though brief, it's a charming artifact of the early Dark Horse Buffy era, expanding the show's mythology with a self-contained tale of the creatures that lurk in the shadows.
