Titan Comics is thrilled to reveal the final trailer for Alva in the Dark, a fresh take on witchcraft by writer Aksel Studsgarth and artist Daniel Hansen.
In this Nordic noir folk-horror graphic novel, a young thief with an ancient witch bloodline becomes the target of a ruthless order. After a burglary uncovers an imprisoned witch, Alva is forced to flee across frozen Scandinavia with her friend Mini, pursued by the Craftsmen, who seek to control the magic of the near-extinct Aldinn tribes. As Alva uncovers the truth about her origins and powers, she must navigate a brutal world where monsters and humans are difficult to distinguish.
“Working on Alva in the Dark has been a fascinating experience,” said Holly Smith, the editor of the novel. “The combination of folklore, horror, and dark fantasy creates a world that lingers long after the final page. Every revisit reveals new details hidden among its inky shadows and ancient magic.”
Alva in the Dark will hit the shelves on 22 September 2026. It is now available for pre-order from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, and Forbidden Planet for the UK & Europe.
