30 Days of Night is a three-issue comic book limited series, falling into the horror genre. It was 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 about 65 days (however, the town in the miniseries bears little resemblance to the real Barrow except in name). The premise of the series is that vampires come to Barrow and terrorize the area.
Initially an unsuccessful film pitch[1], the series became a breakout success story for Steve Niles, whose previous works had received relatively little attention. It was also the first full-length work by co-creator Ben Templesmith.
