Spike is determined to keep the last copy of his embarrassing poetry from being discovered, sending Buffy and the Gang on a faux-supernatural goose chase to New Orleans to cover his tracks. While at an antiques fair along the way, the group is captivated by some Casquette Girls clothes on display. Dawn utters a wish she most likely should’ve kept to herself, and the gang experiences a first hand account of the sisters’ identities…beyond what they could have ever imagined!
Buffy the Vampire: The Lost Summer #1 will ship with a main cover by Mirka Andolfo (Deep Beyond, Sweet Paprika). It’ll also have variant covers by Veronica Fish (Firefly: Brand New ‘Verse, Blackwood), Paulina Ganucheau (Wonder Woman, The Amazing World of Gumball), and others.
