The creation of the iconic character Fantômas marked a significant achievement in French crime fiction, co-developed by Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre. Beginning in 1911, their collaboration resulted in a series that captivated readers, leading to 32 volumes featuring the master criminal. Allain continued the legacy with 11 additional volumes after Souvestre's passing. Fantômas has since inspired numerous adaptations across film, television, and comics, solidifying his status as a cultural phenomenon in the genre.
