Lupin III #5

In "A Chip Off the Gold Block," Lupin III finds himself caught in a web of shifting loyalties as the police close in, and Fujiko’s true intentions remain as elusive as ever—helping, hindering, or selling him out to a rival? Written by Monkey Punch, Ray Yoshimoto, and Matt Yamashita, and illustrated with signature flair by Monkey Punch and Patrick Hook, this 2003 Tokyopop issue delivers classic heist tension with a twist of betrayal. The cover by Monkey Punch and Patrick Hook captures the moment’s high stakes in bold, dynamic lines.
