Arsène Lupin, gentleman inbreker, tegen Sherlock Holmes #1

Two titans of early-twentieth-century fiction finally meet on Dutch comics pages in this 2023 Dark Dragon Books adaptation, based on the novels of Maurice Leblanc. The cover sets the mood beautifully: a sleek, top-hatted Arsène Lupin strides forward with confident menace, his flowing cape and pistol announcing a gentleman thief at the height of his powers, rendered in a bold, graphic style by Félix, Janolle, and Delf. If you've ever wondered what happens when fiction's most charming criminal crosses paths with its greatest detective, this first volume promises exactly the stylish confrontation the title boldly declares.
