30 Days of Night | Comics
In the city of Barrow, largest town from the Arctic Circle of Alaska, polar night falls for a straight of 30 days every year. Which seems like a great opportunity for the creatures of the night; the Vampires, who fed on fresh human blood. Unknown to the dwellers of the town, a small pack of Vampires have came to Barrow to take advantage of the month long dark abyss and have a feast of their lifetime on the people who live here. Led by an arrogant Vampire named Marlowe, his Vampire followers have unleashed an uninterrupted killing spree upon entering the city and this news gets to the Vampire elder, Vicente who thinks Marlowe’s actions can bring about the end to an era that was remain a secret for ages, a secret their race are trying to keep in shadows for centuries.

To stop Marlowe’s uncontrolled and unchecked madness on Barrow, Vicente quickly rushes to the wrecked town of Barrow, to take charges of the matter in his more capable hands and take necessary actions immediately. There he confronted Marlowe for his actions and in a sudden fit of rage, Vicente kills him right away by tearing him apart. As the town has already learnt about the deadly presence of the Vampires, Vicente decides it is best for them to destroy the town with its folks after all and make it look like a major accident before they are going to move on. This way, their presence will still remain secret as it was for ages. But a small group of frightened survivors led by Sheriff Eben Olemaun and his wife Stella Olemaun seems to become an obstacle to his way.

Thirty Days of Night | Comics

Thirty Days of Night | Comics
For thousands of years, humans believed that Vampires are only a scary mythical creature of darkness who sucks blood and they only exist in the books and fantasy novels. Since people refuses to believe that these very lethal and heinous creatures are for real, it gives the Vampires an advantage what they need to keep the continuation of their existence running. Because, years of absence of these creatures from human-sight may have faded their memory from men’s mind but they are feared and hated by the humans since the "Council of Elders" made their presence known to public ages ago. After struggling for over a millennium, only a few of them made it out to the present led by an elder named Vicente.

Marlowe, one of Vicente’s own kind has raided the city of Barrow, Alaska, during a 30 straight days of polar night to have a non-stop feeding fest with a few of his blood-thirsty followers that made its residents known about the secret presence of them which their race has been keeping under cover for quite some time. Vicente eventually arrives at Barrow upon calling, only to confront and take care of Marlowe later for what he mindlessly did by blowing their cover to the humans and then decides to continue what Marlowe began anyway, so that there is no witness left to tell their tale. Sheriff Eben Olemaun along with his wife Stella Olemaun and a handful of survivors made a last stand against the Nosferatu. The winter may have had weakened them but since the night is young, the creatures of darkness are still to do a lot more to the humans.
