Lupin the Third, by Monkey Punch

Was looking up some stuff on Lupin the Third video games, and came across this: Released in 1998, this PlayStation game is essentially a series of motion comics for a handful of stories from the...

Yep, they pretty much all come from the original two manga series! This is basically a copy/paste of a thread I did on Twitter, but here we go! Mama runs a Union of assassins that Fujiko wor...

The alien spaceship. (Man, the second series gets downright weird sometimes) Series 2, “Yap Land”

@shin-red-dear offers an explanation for the previous post. Makes a lot of sense, honestly (well, relatively speaking. It’s still pretty odd to see extraterrestrials in Lupin the Third). It ce...

I don’t know what these little guys are called, but they REALLY like Fujiko. And while it may be an uncomfortable situation to read, I can’t help but laugh at her launching one of them with...

As a fellow comic artist, I feel like Monkey Punch as he draws himself on this page is the most relatable character in the series. Series 2, Chapter 142

(While this isn’t technically Lupin-related, I think it still fits the theme of this blog.) In 1979, the Hong Kong martial arts film, “The Fearless Hyena”, starring Jackie Chan was releas...

I can’t read Japanese, so going through the “San Francisco” story arc from the second series just confuses me. No less than three people lose their left eye throughout the story, including ...

Volume 18 of the Italian release of Series 2. Such a bizarre image. Why is Mamo there? Why is he so tall? Why is the art style so…unsettling? So many questions. Source: Fumetto Online

The collected editions of the manga often featured silly slapstick gags on the covers, with the setup on the front, and the punchline on the back. Found on the Lupin Maniac Facebook page .Origi...

Man, the way Robo-Lupin moves cracks me up. And you gotta love how MP draws the phone that a very pissy Lupin is calling Fujiko on. Series 2, Chapter 86

Sure, Monkey Punch’s version of Lupin may be a lot harder-edged than his anime counterpart…but he’s apparently good with kids, and will happily fight a building full of assassins in order t...

A naked Melon being whipped while Zenigata watches. I’ve actually completely forgotten the context for this (assuming I ever had it, with there being a language barrier and all).
