30 Days of Night Spin-off Debuts from IDW Publishing

[ENGLISH] In January, IDW Publishing will release 30 Days of Night: Red Snow, a powerful quasi-prequel to 30 Days of Night, which was originally released by IDW as a comic book in 2002 and became the smash-hit motion picture from Sony Pictures. Red Snow gives the original series’ fans-who have begged for more since the original comic’s release-the riveting tale of what occurred half a century before the vampires invaded Alaska.

Originally published as a three-issue miniseries, the trade paperback 30 Days of Night: Red Snow is a gritty horror tale set during World War II that follows a British military attaché assigned to aiding Stalin’s frontline troops. While the Russian winter grows more threatening, the military attaché finds survival even more difficult than anticipated when an unexpected element adds itself to the mix.

Created by writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith, 30 Days of Night shocked the comic book world and quickly became one of the undisputed success stories of modern comics-spawning a bestselling trade paperback, a major motion picture, and the attention of hundreds of thousands of fans longing for an innovative tale of terror. Templesmith, who created the art for the original series, returns to work on 30 Days of Night: Red Snow. One of comics’ fastest-rising stars whose stylish art has set a new standard in comics horror, Templesmith has been nominated for several Eisner Awards.

This comic book will be in stores January 2008; call 1-888-comic-book (1-888-266-4226) to find a store near you.
