All five episodes in a card backed, square bound, A4 book (Think Tintin book and you get the idea) with over 20 pages of extras including unseen art, writers notes, pin ups and more! I think you'll love it - and there is still a chance to grab a sketch with your copy if you are quick!</p><p style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #282828; font-family: Inter, sans-serif; font-feature-settings: inherit;
