After studying art history and sculpture, Rochette began drawing comics and cartoons. From 1979 he regularly drew for the magazine L'Écho des Savanes . In 1980, Les Dépoteurs de chrysanthèmes was his first album released. His next big project was the Edmond le cochon series created with Martin Veyron (in German as Edmund the Pig ; published 1985 by Carlsen-Verlag in Hamburg ). Rochette then worked on behalf of Alexis together with Jacques Lob on the short story Le Transperceneige , which appeared in 1983 and brought both artists the "Prix Rèsistance - Témoignage Chrétien" at the 1985 Festival d'Angoulême . Also in 1985 Rochette continued his work on Claudius Vigne , whose first episode he had published years earlier in the (à suivre) (the series was published in German in 1987 by Adlib-Verlag in Cologne). In 1999 and 2000 he released two sequel albums by Le Transperceneige with Benjamin Legrand (published in 2013 in German in a volume as a snow cruiser by the Jacoby & Stuart publishing house ). This work served as the template for the film Snowpiercer , published in 2014 . Rochette worked with René Pétillon on three albums, which were released in 2003, 2004 and 2006.
