Back in 2020/21 myself (Troy) and John were busy developing the character Albion Winter for a short film we had written. But, because of the pandemic we had to put pre-production on hold.
During development I wrote a few short comic scripts to help me get a proper handle on the character. What are her motivations, inner monologues, her moods? Nightwalker was an attempt to lean into the dark, mysterious creature of the night mood that a lot of Vampire stories evoke.

Aphelion
With the first issue of Aphelion coming up I don’t want to add any spoilers I need to make clear that Nightwalker, although technically set in the same world as Aphelion, is non-canonical. This was part of the process of creating the character, as said above.
I can’t give too much away, but when we created Nightwalker, I had already been fleshing out Albion’s world and had already begun writing Aphelion: The Rise of Calvus with Barry Renshaw from Engine Comics due for release in December 2023.
Albion
But back to Albion. The short motion comic has been available on our YouTube channel for some time now but you can see it here on SubStack for the first time. It’s very short so even an attention-span impaired teenager could watch it.
Why not give it a share?
Albion Winter can now be found on Webtoons. Click here to read episode one and subscribe so that you don’t miss the impending second instalment and, I promise you, things are about to get very interesting for Ali.
