The Nikopol Trilogy is a series of three science fiction graphic novels written in French by Enki Bilal, a French comic book creator, comics artist and film director who was born in Yugoslavia and immigrated to France as a child. The works were first published between 1980 and 1992. The original French titles of the series are La Foire aux immortels (1980), La Femme piege (1986), and Froid Equateur (1992), which in 1992 were collected together in a single volume entitled La Trilogie Nikopol, published by Les Humanoides Associes. The individual stories were later translated into English and published under the titles Gods in Chaos, The Woman Trap, and Cold Equator. In 1999, the trilogy was also published in English as a single volume, The Nikopol Trilogy. The series is considered to be one of the most original science fiction comics, revolutionizing the conventions of comic art.

Plot: The story begins in 2023 in Paris. Alcide Nikopol returns from a 30-year sentence spent orbiting Earth under cryopreservation to find France under fascist rule after two nuclear wars.
