Alena

Alena, launched in 2015 by Roca Libros, is a Spanish graphic novel that reimagines the classic vampire myth through a stark, modern lens. The story follows a young woman who, after a traumatic event, must navigate a world where she is both predator and prey, grappling with her new identity and the violent urges it brings. This single-issue work is noted for its atmospheric black-and-white art and its unflinching exploration of isolation and monstrosity, marking a distinctive entry in contemporary European horror comics.
