Arsène Lupin #7

Two sharply dressed rivals dominate this striking Art Deco-framed cover — the bold, broad-shouldered Arsène Lupin standing back-to-back with the dark-coated Herlock Sholmes, their uneasy alliance (or rivalry) summed up perfectly in a single image. Takashi Morita's manga adaptation of Maurice Leblanc's classic continues with volume VII of *Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmes: La Lampe Juive*, bringing elegant linework and a deep crimson palette to one of fiction's great cat-and-mouse matchups. Published by Kurokawa in 2022, this installment looks like a compelling chapter in a series that clearly relishes every moment of its source material.
