The stunning graphic novels that inspired the movie Snowpiercer, directed by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho, starring Chris Evans, and the TNT/Netflix TV Series, starring Jennifer Connelly, are collected together in a deluxe box set in English for the very first time!

On a future, frozen Earth, a train that never stops circumnavigates the globe. On board is all of humanity that we could save from the great disaster that wrapped the planet in ice. At the front of the train, the survivors live in comfort and luxury, while at the rear, their lives are worse than cattle, trapped in the squalid dark. When one of the occupants of the tail breaks through into the main train, all hell follows in his wake!

Includes 3 unique, collectible art cards! Collects the 3 original Snowpiercer graphic novels: The Escape, The Explorers, and Terminus.

About the Author

Jacques Lob, winner of the Grand Prix de la ville d'AngoulΓͺme award, was a Franco-Belgian comic book author, best known for his Superdupont series. He began his career as an editorial cartoonist, before an editor suggested he focused on his writing, which bore rich fruit across a number of genres. He passed away in 1990. Benjamin Legrand is the author of numerous thriller novels, screenplays, and comic scripts. As well as his own original works, he is well known as the French translator for the works of such authors as Tom Wolfe, Paul Cleave and Nelson DeMille. After Jacques Lob's death in 1990, Legrand continued the Snowpiercer series with a two-part sequel, collected by Titan in a single second volume.
