This twelfth volume of Dargaud's 2006 edition of Galaxy Express 999 continues the epic space-faring journey of Tetsuro Hoshino and the enigmatic Maetel aboard the titular train. As they travel across the galaxy, Tetsuro faces new worlds and moral challenges in his quest to obtain a free mechanical body, while the series' signature blend of sci-fi adventure and philosophical melancholy deepens. This collection includes a portion of Leiji Matsumoto's original manga storyline, presented in the French-language format that helped introduce the classic series to a new generation of readers.
