Lupin III (Lupin the 3rd): Greatest Heists – The Classic Manga Collection

Description

Back of the Book

Lupin III: Greatest Heists is a collection of twelve classic stories from throughout Lupin’s history. Taken from Monkey Punch’s Lupin III and New Lupin III, these stories have been fully retranslated and are collected in one volume for the first time.

Monkey Punch’s immortal creations are among the most beloved characters of all time, from master thief Lupin III to his trusted sidekicks and tenacious rivals. Lupin III is also an icon of animation, starring in the stunning 2019 CG animated film Lupin III: The First, and Hayao Miyazaki’s feature film directorial debut, The Castle of Cagliostro.

This special collection of Monkey Punch’s classic manga stories was originally published in Japan as a tribute to his passing in 2019.

Master thief Arsène Lupin III, the charming grandson of Arsène Lupin, has been stealing treasures and hearts since Monkey Punch’s original manga series in the 1960s. The capers and adventures of Lupin III—along with his trusted sidekicks and hot-in-pursuit rivals—have turned him into one of the most beloved manga characters of all time. Lupin III’s exploits have been immortalized through decades of multimedia incarnations, including Hayao Miyazaki’s animated film directorial debut, The Castle of Cagliostro, and the stunning 2019 CG animated film Lupin III: The First, newly available in English from GKids.

This special collection of Monkey Punch’s original manga, published in Japan as a tribute to his legacy after his passing in 2019, includes some of the greatest Lupin III manga tales pulled from years of this influential work. Seven Seas will be releasing this one-of-a-kind tome as a beautiful large-trim hardcover for Lupin III’s English-speaking fans.
