About the series
In 2005, IDW Publishing launched 30 Days of Night, a horror comic series that traps the remote Alaskan town of Barrow in a month of polar night—and under siege by a relentless clan of vampires. Created by writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith, the debut issue immediately established a gritty, cinematic terror that stripped away gothic romance for pure survival horror. Its stark, moody artwork and brutal premise redefined vampire comics for a modern audience, making it a landmark entry in the genre.
