French authors Marcel Allain (1885-1969) and Pierre Souvestre (1874-1914) created the Fantômas character in 1911, at the request of their publisher. The writing team collaborated on more than 30 Fantômas adventures, until Souvestre's death in 1914. Allain then continued the series alone, writing another 11 books featuring the arch-criminal.
