Now comes word that Magnetic Press will release a new, illustrated edition of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Thief on Kickstarter, which consists of the original Lupin saga (consisting of the first 9 Je sais tout shorts from 1905-1907, which were then published in a stand-alone collected volume in 1907), newly illustrated by artist Vincent Mallie. From this beginning 115 years ago, Lupin has become a significant global pop culture phenomenon across media including books, film, television, animation, comics, and more, plus the recent Lupin series on Netflix and the legendary Lupin the 3rd anime and manga. A popular science magazine, Je sais tout had been launched earlier that year.
Created by Maurice Leblanc, the adventures of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin first began in serialized form in the French magazine Je sais tout issue #6, dated July 15, 1905.
