30 Days of Night Annual 2005

A single-issue annual from IDW that expands the chilling world of 30 Days of Night beyond the original miniseries. Published in 2005, this special features a standalone story tied to the franchise's core premise of a vampire siege in the Alaskan darkness, with the creative team including Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, the writer and artist most associated with the series. It matters as a key early artifact of the horror franchise's growth into a larger mythos.
