Jamie S. Rich, who's now the Editor-In-Chief at Oni Press, was an editor here [at Dark Horse], and a big fan of Buffy. He campaigned to bring it here, but left the company before the book got started.

I hadn't seen the show, but based on the word 'vampire' I asked if I could edit it. That got the ball rolling. One of my best friends was already a big fan of the show, so I tapped him for advice getting started, as I tried to learn the show myself.
