The Fantômas novels are what brought the idea of masked men to the fight between good and evil. This phenomenon at the start of the 20th century is responsible for masked heroes and villains we eventually saw, like Batman. Here is where it all started. This fifth volume tells of the daring exploits of Fantômas in his attempts to get possession of the King of Hesse-Weimar's famous diamond.Translated from "Un Roi Prisonnier de Fantômas", 1911.
