   James Marsters sinks his teeth into Wizard World in St. Louis   
      
   He played punk-goth vampire on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”   
   Wizard World/Comic Con is Friday through Sunday at America’s Center   
      
   BY LYNN VENHAUS   
   For the News-Democrat   
      
   The multi-faceted James Marsters considers acting a collaborative effort. So   
   when he shot to fame as a punk-goth British vampire Spike in the cult   
   classic TV show “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” he knew it was a gift from   
   creator Joss Whedon and his team.   
      
   “I was fortunate to work with these movers and shakers — Joss (“Toy   
   Story,”   
   “The Avengers”), David Fury (“Lost” and “24”), Marti Noxon   
   (“UnReal,” “Code   
   Black”), Drew Goddard (Oscar nominee “Ex Machina”) and David Greenwalt   
   (“Grimm”),” he said during a recent phone interview.   
      
   James Marsters moved to California to have a better family life. Provided   
   “They made ‘Buffy’ a little Camelot in Santa Monica. The writing was just   
   amazing. I think ‘Buffy’ is truly lasting because of the writing. I am very   
   appreciative, and it was wonderful to work on. It was working together as a   
   team.”   
      
   Marsters will be one of the special celebrity guests at the Wizard   
   World/Comic Con this weekend at America’s Center in St. Louis.   
      
   His charismatic character appeared in the second season (1997). He appeared   
   in 97 episodes, including the legendary musical show, “Once More, With   
   Feeling.” Although the series ended in 2003, “Buffy” is still watched   
   around   
   the globe. He also appeared on the spinoff, “Angel.”   
      
   “I was pleased that the character was successful — Joss is such a good   
   editor — but I tried not to let that reality lead to an ego trip,” he said.   
   “Fame is troubled waters for anybody, and certainly as an artist.”
