Alena

In Alena, a chilling Swedish horror-comic originally published by Dark Horse, a bullied art student discovers a mysterious old painting that seems to harbor the vengeful spirit of a murdered girl. This single-issue story, written and drawn by the acclaimed Kim W. Andersson, blends supernatural dread with a raw, emotional look at high school cruelty and empowerment. With its striking, painterly art and a taut, fast-paced plot, it stands as a potent, self-contained graphic novel that reimagines the ghost story for a modern audience.
