DESCRIPTION:
Snowpiercer is the enthralling and thought-provoking post-apocalyptic graphic novel that inspired the critically acclaimed movie starring Chris Evans (Captain America, Fantastic Four). Yet, things are about to change aboard the train as passengers become disgruntled. Originally published in French, this marks the first time that Snowpiercer will be available in English.In a harsh, uncompromisingly cold future where Earth has succumbed to treacherously low temperatures, the last remaining members of humanity travel on a train while the outside world remains encased in ice. The surviving community are not without a social hierarchy; those that travel at the front of the train live in relative luxury whilst those unfortunate enough to be at the rear remain clustered like cattle in claustrophobic darkness

Arrived in wonderful condition! A suspenseful read with striking graphics.
