Jacques Lob

His series Le Transperceneige, later continued by Benjamin Legrand, was adapted into the 2013 post-apocalyptic science fiction action film Snowpiercer.

Jacques Lob began his career as an illustrator of humorous cartoons that were published in various magazines, until Jean-Michel Charlier advised him to focus on his writing.

The following series Blanche Épiphanie, serialised in V Magazine in 1968, was of a different character however, and its erotic qualities caused mixed public reaction.

Blanche Épiphanie was later republished by Les Humanoïdes Associés; a translated version of Blanche Épiphanie #3 - La Croisière infernale was translated into English and republished by HM Communications, Inc. in 1977 as Candice at Sea.

It was first serialised in Pilote, and later in L'Écho des savanes, then drawn by Alexis, and after his death, by Solé.
