** VIEW ALL PHOTOS These are very old pulp publications 110+ years old that were stapled and the covers are detached or nearly so. **

These stand-alone publications from around 1910-1915 feature individual stories of the French detective character, Arsène Lupin, created by Maurice LeBlanc.

In 1904, publisher Pierre Lafitte asked Maurice Leblanc to write a detective novel featuring a brilliant hero similar to England's Sherlock Holmes.

Arsène Lupin debuted in 1905 in a series of short stories in the magazine *Je sais tout* and eventually became a series of full-length novels as well as featured as these individual publications.
