30 Days of Night

30 Days of Night is a three-issue horror comic book mini-series written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith and published by IDW Publishing in 2002. All three parties co-own the property. The series takes place in Barrow, Alaska, so far north that during the winter the sun does not rise for 67 days (however, the town in the miniseries bears little resemblance to the real Barrow except in name). Another difference is that in the series, once the sun sets, it's suddenly pitch black. In reality, for a few weeks before the first sunrise and after the last sunset of the year, there are brief periods of twilight. In the series, vampires, being vulnerable to sunlight, take advantage of the prolonged darkness to feast upon the town's inhabitants.... Mehr
