Snowpiercer. Volume 1, The escape
(Graphic Novel)

"Originally published in 1984 by Casterman, France as Transperceneige and reissued as Transperceneige: L'Echappé in 1999."

Coursing through an eternal winter, on an icy track wrapped around the frozen planet Eart, there travels a train that never stops. This is Snowpiercer: one thousand and one carriages long.

"From fearsome engine to final car, all surviving human life is here: a complete hierarchy of the society we lost. The elite, as ever, travel in luxury at the front of the train - but for those in the rear coaches, life is squalid, miserable and short. Now the poor have had enough: it's time to seize control of the engine - and their future!" -- ‡c from publisher's web site.
