Arsène Lupin

Arsène Lupin is the legendary fictional gentleman burglar created by Maurice Leblanc, reimagined here in Belgian comics form. A master of disguise and daring theft, he operates with wit and elegance, outwitting authorities while maintaining a roguish charm.

Arsène Lupin arrives in comics during the Bronze Age, debuting in Kuifje Special #1 in 1978 courtesy of creators André-Paul Duchâteau, Tibet, and Didier Desmit — a creative team bringing the legendary gentleman burglar to the illustrated page with evident flair. Published under Dark Dragon Books, his comic adventures have stretched across an impressive span from 1978 all the way to 2025, appearing in titles like De holle naald and Het laatste geheim van Nostradamus that suggest a rich appetite for classic mystery and intrigue. For collectors drawn to European comics heritage and the enduring charm of a roguish, cultured antihero, this is a character whose catalog presence rewards the curious browser.
