Buffy the Vampire Slayer #4 (Raw VF/NM) - BOOM! Studios (Dan Mora Main Cover A, Key Issue)

Add a key modern vampire issue to your web store inventory with Buffy the Vampire Slayer #4, published by BOOM! Studios! Written by Eisner Award-winning writer Jordie Bellaire with interior art and main cover art by fan-favorite artist Dan Mora (Once & Future, Detective Comics) and colors by Raúl Angulo, this issue serves as a critical turning point in BOOM! Studios' modernized reboot of the franchise.

The upper trade dress features creator attribution CREATED BY JOSS WHEDON across the top banner. The left side displays the BOOM! STUDIOS logo box alongside creative team credits (JORDIE BELLAIRE • DAN MORA • RAÚL ANGULO), while the upper-right corner marks the issue indicator NO. 4. The iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer logo glows in white with purple aura across the upper center.

The intense, atmospheric cover illustration—crafted by Dan Mora—presents Xander Harris in the center surrounded by shadowy, glowing vampire figures in high-contrast purple, black, and pale green tones.

In this landmark issue, the Scooby Gang faces a shocking shift when Xander Harris is attacked and bitten by Drusilla, leading directly to his tragic transformation—a major departure from original TV series continuity that redefines the stakes for Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, and Rupert Giles.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), with sharp edges, a clean spine, and vivid color contrast—making it an essential pickup for Buffy collectors, Dan Mora fans, BOOM! Studios completionists, and key issue investors.
