Snowpiercer (French: Le Transperceneige, French: [lə tʁɑ̃s.pɛʁs.nɛʒ]) is a four-volume post-apocalyptic, climate fiction, graphic novel written by Jacques Lob and illustrated by Jean-Marc Rochette. The first volume was in 1982 and published by Casterman under the title Le Transperceneige and later retitled The Escape. The series was continued in two volumes by writer Benjamin Legrand, replacing Jacques Lob, with The Explorers published in 1999 and The Crossing in 2000. A fourth volume, Terminus, was written by Olivier Bocquet and published in 2015, as a conclusion to the series.
Titan Comics localized the series in English into three volumes with Snowpiercer: The Explorers compiled with The Crossing. It was followed by a prequel series in 2019. The graphic novel became internationally popular following its adaptation as a 2013 film and a television series (2020–2024).
