Oh I am here for it. I read a lot of old Belgian comics as a kid, nothing much more recent, but it will be interesting to see that style of art applied to Lupin.

In the provided image, I'm not 100% about Lupin's expression but I like Jigen there.

Sharing the announcement art! Which I already dig!


Also, I have a few French friends I can ask to help me order some copies for US fans. If you might be interested later, let me know, I'll message you later about it and costs once it's actually out and I can calculate that stuff lol

Yes please I love the color schemes for the characters.

Tsushi: If Kana is the same company based here and publishing City Hunter in English, then Lupin might be next.

I have to say the artwork is great!!

I do wish Lupin had his Walther or something with a similar profile, but...

 

[Seroster]

Apparently it's already the 25th! The book should be out now. But I have not had any luck finding a shop in Quebec which has it. Maybe too soon.

The Toronto specialty comics shop, The Beguiling, carries Kana comics, even in French. I've emailed them about the comic.

 

[Seroster]

Well they got back to me: it doesn't appear on their Canadian distributor's website. So maybe according to the negotiated rights it's only for sale in France.

Sooooo where can I buy it from France???

I'm wondering that myself. It seems that the distributor linked on the publisher's website (collector's edition if one would prefer) will ship to Canada, but no dice on the United States. Who would I have to politely email for a chance of an official translation? lol...

 

[Seroster]

I managed to order a French copy from https://www.lireka.com/

Official translation? I'd hunt down the publisher's website, it's Kana, right?

 

[Seroster]

Here is Kana's "contact us" form. https://www.kana.fr/contact/

If you can't read French, see if you can set your browser to automatically translate.

Lireka's a good shout! I saw people recommending that for importing French comics, but for some reason was not finding La Merveille on there when I was looking earlier. And it absolutely is there, I just must've not looked very hard. Haha. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe they just didn't have it yet!
