among the offerings, two very graphic, very different, but both stylistically speaking, minimalist-leaning comic books – caught my eye.
one from 1984, and one from: now.
SNOWPIERCER by JACQUES LOB & JEAN-MARC ROCHETTE
first published by French publisher Casterman, in 1984.
“The original story is quite philosophical and very dialogue driven. It imagines a frozen globe cursed by eternal winter, where what’s left of the entire human race inhabits a train that never stops, a train that is 1,001 carriages long. The elite inhabit the carriages up front, and the lower classes are left with little to no services in the carriages at the far rear.” – GANZEER
