Eisner Nominated 2021 At sixteen, bivouacked on a mountainside
beneath a sky filled with stars, Jean-Marc Rochette has already
begun measuring himself against some of Europe’s highest peaks.
The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Saber, La Meije: the summits of
the Massif des Écrins, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark
both exhilaration and fear. At times, they are a playground for
adventure. At others, they are a battlefield. The young climber is
acutely aware that death lurks in the frozen corridors of the
French Alps. In Altitude, Jean-Marc Rochette tells the story of his
formative years, as a climber and as an artist. Part coming-of-age
story, part love letter to the Alps, this autobiographical graphic
novel captures the thrill and the terror invoked by high mountains,
and considers one man’s obsession with getting to the top of
them.

The 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. At the
front of the train, the survivors live in comfort and luxury - 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,
collectable art cards! Collects the 3 original Snowpiercer graphic
novels: The Escape, The Explorers, and Terminus.
The third volume of the graphic novel series that inspired the
movie Snowpiercer, starring Chris Evans - presented in English for
the very first time! On a future, frozen Earth, humanity has been
packed onto self-sustaining trains, doomed to circumnavigate the
globe until the end of the interminable ice age - or until the
engines give out. When a scrap of music piques their interest, the
inhabitants of the Icebreaker take the ultimate risk and cross the
frozen ocean, a vast expanse with no train tracks... and no way to
return to them.

Freely adapted from the work of Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre,
with a plot worthy of the best black novels, Rocheleau plunges the
reader into the Paris of the 1910s and provokes terror and
fascination by resuscitating Fantomas, the evil character with a
hundred faces ... Fantomas is the first superhero in history. All
masked men and women who grace the pages of American comics and
movie screens are his illegitimate children. The blood of Fantomas
flows in the veins of each of them.
