Get your Amazon Companion now
Wait, I meant “Get your Firefly Companion at Amazon now,” I’m pretty sure.
After an odd scheduling blip that resulted in the Firefly Companion Vol. 1 from Titan Books getting shipped out to comic stores a month or two before the official US release, they’re now available at Amazon for those of us without a handy comics store nearby (ahem).
Joss Whedon’s cult sci-fi Western series Firefly may have had a curtailed existence on TV, but it has since become a phenomenon on DVD, spawning the hit movie Serenity and inspiring legions of dedicated fans, whose numbers are still growing today. This, the first of two lavishly illustrated official companions, is a must, whether you’re already a loyal Browncoat, or just discovering the ’Verse. Covering all aspects of the making of the show, this Big Damn Book features:
- Exclusive new interviews with Joss Whedon, the cast, executive producer Tim Minear and many other writers and crewmembers.
- Full, uncut shooting scripts for the episodes ‘Serenity’, ‘The Train Job’, ‘Bushwhacked’, ‘Shindig’, ‘Safe’ and ‘Our Mrs. Reynolds’, annotated with comments from the cast and crew.
- Scores of rare and previously unpublished images, including behind-the-scenes shots, production art, and original Firefly props and costumes photographed especially for this book.
The US edition is available from Amazon now and it’ll be available through Amazon UK within a week, both at discounted prices.

Found mine at a local independent bookstore - BEAUTIFUL volume, a fine companion to the movie book…I’m savoring every page.

If you are a true fan you must get this book. I got mine from a local comic store early(felt like Christmas) and it is excellent. Not only does it have those uneditted scripts full of unaired scenes but the photos and props are cool to look at. If you own the Serenity RPG this is a must as well for ideas and visuals if nothing else.

I was one of those folks that preordered across the pond about a month ago. I was a tad disgruntled when I heard the news.
Now, I’m feeling quite gruntled.

Amazon.com sent me the email saying that the Official Companion (and another copy of Serenity to be given away as a prize when Serenity Saturdays start again in Telford PA) was shipped!
