Fray is an eight-issue comic book limited series, a futuristic spin-off of the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Written by Buffy creator Joss Whedon, the series follows a Slayer named Melaka Fray, a chosen one in a time where vampires (called "lurks") are returning to the slums of New York City, and the rich-poor divide is even greater. Volume one is drawn by Karl Moline (pencils) and Andy Owens (inks).
The series was published by Dark Horse Comics beginning in 2001, with delays between the first six and the final two issues caused by Whedon's TV commitments, during which Moline illustrated Route 666 for CrossGen Comics. After the series' conclusion in August 2003, a trade paperback collecting the whole series was also published by Dark Horse. In a short video promoting the charity Equality Now Joss Whedon confirmed that "Fray is not done, Fray is coming back. More than that, I will not say." This was reiterated in 2007's Comic Con where Joss stated that he "absolutely would be returning to that world." Fray next appears as a main character in the 2008 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight crossover story arc, "Time of Your Life", by Whedon and Moline.
Come and turn it up
You're gonna get that gold
I see it in your eyes
More than your hands can hold
There's something that you know
Don't matter where you go
Baby tell me when it's over, cause we can never lose
Go on and light it up
And let me see you do your thing like you were born again
Free, love is free, love is free
Come on and give it away
Come on and give it away now
Free, love is free, love is free
Why don't you give it away?
Why don't you give it away?
Come and walk that walk
Across the seven seas
Come on and start this fire
Bigger than you and me
There's something that you know
Don't matter where you go
If you give it all away it's gonna come around
Don't get it all switched up
Baby just do your thing
Free, love is free, love is free
Come on and give it away
Why don't you give it away now?
Free, love is free, love is free
So try to give it away
Come on and give it away now
Take my hand and lead me on
Take my hand and lead me home
Take my hand and lead me away now, away now
Away now, away now, away now, away now
Free, love is free, love is free
Why don't you give it away?
Why don't you give it away? Say
Free, love is free, love is free
Why don't you give it away?
Come on and give it away
Take my hand and lead me on
(Free, love is free, love is free)
So take my hand and lead me on
(Free, love is free, love is free)
Take my hand and lead me away
(Free, love is free, love is free)
Why don't you give it away?
Come on and give it away now
