Jul 11 Lupin III fan comic "The Curtain Falls" is now available!

A brand-new unofficial Lupin III fan comic is now available to purchase physically and digitally - and it’s by friend of the site Jey Pawlik!

The Curtain Falls is a new tale involving a hypothetical future for Lupin and pals. Our beloved thief, now in his 60s, goes on one final adventure - and as per usual, Inspector Zenigata is still close on his tail. It’s a nice premise - and Jey, who has been a fan of the Lupin series for a long time - knows the characters well enough to come up with convincing old-age counterparts. At seventy pages long, it’s a decent length too, and the art, as always from Jey, is gorgeous.

If you’re interested in giving it a read, check out some preview pages below, and pick it up either physically or digitally (PDF format) via the online store here.

Written and drawn by Jey Pawlik

Includes: Two extra mini comics, concept art, script/outline example, and thumbnails.
Every physical book purchase comes with a free postcard!

This idea is just too cute and fun - I just had to share it. Jey is super talented and has been a big supporter of Lupin Central for as long as I can remember. They have been creating amazing art and comics consistently for years now - if you like the look of The Curtain Falls, I implore you to check out Jey’s other work via their website, Topaz Comics, BlueSky, and Ko-Fi.

Jey, you rock - keep up the great work!
