Horror comics Horror comics 30 days of night was a series of horror comics written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith, originally published by IDW Publishing in 2002. The series takes place in Barrow, Alaska, which is so far north that during the winter the sun does not rise for 30 days. The premise of the series is that vampires (who are harmed by the sun) move to Barrow and terrorize the area.
