// Archive commentary
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #38 is part of Dark Horse Comics' long-running ongoing series based on the Joss Whedon television property, published in 2001 during the show's fifth-season era. By this point in the comic's run the writing chores had passed to the team of Tom Fassbender and Jim Pascoe, with Cliff Richards providing pencils across an extended stretch of issues, giving the title a consistent visual identity through the early 2000s. The book falls in the middle of a multi-year publishing run that stretched from 1998 into 2003, without a first appearance, death, or other landmark event attached to this particular number.
