Description
Book SynopsisThe stunning graphic novels that inspired the movie Snowpiercer, directed by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho, starring Chris Evans, and TNT/Netflix TV Series, starring Jennifer Connelly - 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: all of humanity that we could save from the great disaster that wrapped the planet in ice.

When one of the occupants of the tail breaks through into the main train - all hell follows in his wake! Includes 3 unique, collectable art cards!
