The character was first introduced in a series of short stories starting in 1905, eventually starring in over 17 novels and 39 novellas. While a thief operating on the "wrong" side of the law, Leblanc frames Lupin as a force for good -- one-upping and unmasking villains far more evil than he. A memorable and beloved character, Lupin has been the subject of numerous film and TV adaptations, including a 2021 blockbuster TV series. Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) was a French novelist and short story writer, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes.
