Alena is a 2015 Swedish graphic novel written and illustrated by Kim W. Andersson.
[3] It is published in English in the United States by Dark Horse Comics.
"[5] Pop Culture Uncovered discussed the artwork with "Andersson's style reminds me of [Robert] Crumb in some ways and it's rawness, and ugliness at times, make the story feel real in a way traditional comic art probably wouldn't.
"[6] Kim W. Andersson said the graphic novel was largely inspired by the film version of Carrie.
He has also cited the comic series Love and Rockets as an influence.
