When Joss Whedon saw the final copy of the first Spike and Dru, he said, "This is what the comic should look like every month!" We decided that called for a sequel. On their way to Sunnydale, the demonic duo stop off in sultry St. Louis, to try their hands at some riverboat gambling. They soon learn, however, that their rest and relaxation isn't quite as peaceful as they'd hoped!

It's 1933, and Spike and Dru, our favorite vampire duo, are at the World's Fair to have a little fun and maybe eat some tourists. But there's always someone who wants to rain on their parade -- like the deadly vampire hunters who are a tad angry at Spike for killing their ancestor, a girl who just happened to be a Slayer -- or the chaos wizard who's using his scientific display as a front for his attempts to call forth the Elder Gods and end the world! Another twisted tale of vampire love from writer Christopher Golden (Buffy the Vampire Slayer Watcher's Guide) and artist Ryan Sook (Buffy, Superman), the creative team responsible for Spike and Dru's previous Dark Horse adventures.
