}}Tales of the Slayers is a Dark Horse Comics Buffy the Vampire Slayer graphic novel that consists of multiple stories written by Joss Whedon, Amber Benson, and others which tell of different members of the Slayer line. The stories are presented in chronological order and offer snapshots of Slayers throughout history, from The First Slayer to Melaka Fray (the Slayer of the future who starred in her own limited comic series). The overarching theme of the graphic novel is on the loneliness and duties of being the Slayer. This is reflected in the juxtaposition of the first line in the first short story ("I am alone"), and the final line in the last ("I am not alone"). This graphic novel was followed by the one-shot comic book Broken Bottle of Djinn that followed the same concept. Tales of the Slayers and Tales of the Vampires have been collected with "Broken Bottle of Djinn" in a 2011 Hardback collection titled 'Tales'. Publication| Title | Writer | Artist | Image |

| | "Prologue" | Joss Whedon | Leinil Francis Yu & Dexter Vines | | | Follows the prehistoric First Slayer, as she is rejected by her African village and instructed to fight alone. | | | "Righteous" | Joss Whedon | Tim Sale | | | A Slayer operating within a walled medieval town during a period of witch-hunts. The Slayer heroically fends off a large-scale attack of vampires, but is burned at the stake afterwards by the very people she saved. Her Watcher, a friar, can do nothing but watch. The story ends as the Watcher lets the vampires into the town, which has no one left to save it. | | | "The Innocent" | Amber Benson | Ted Naifeh | | | Claudine the Slayer is used by her Watcher lover to kill a Parisian aristocrat during the French Revolution of 1789. | | | "Presumption" | Jane Espenson | P. Craig Russell | | | Elizabeth Weston encounters a vampire at an aristocratic ball in Somersetshire, England 1813. | | | "The Glittering World" | David Fury | Steve Lieber | | | Navajo Slayer Naayeeneizghani travels across the American West in a tale told to Richard Wilkins, who plans on buying the land where it happened (and naming it Happydale or Sunny Acres). | | | "Sonnenblume" | Rebecca Rand Kirshner | Mira Friedman | | | Anni, a member of the League of German Girls in 1938 Nuremberg, contemplates the true nature of evil as Kristallnacht dawns for her Jewish neighbours. | | | "Nikki Goes Down!" | Doug Petrie | Gene Colan | | | Nikki Wood sets out to avenge the death of her cop boyfriend on the mean streets of 1970s New York City. | | | "Tales" | Joss Whedon | Karl Moline & Andy Owens | | | Fray discovers a former Watcher’s sanctuary and records of her Slayer forebears in 23rd century New York, realizing that while she is the only one in the world, she is not alone. When Fray is next seen in "Time of Your Life" (Season Eight), the Sanctuary is depicted as Fray's main base of operations. |
