Marcel Allain (1885-1970) was, with Pierre Souvestre (1874-1914) the creator of Fantômas. The son of a Parisian bourgeois family, Allain studied law before becoming a journalist, then the assistant of Souvestre, who was already a well-known figure in literary circles. In 1909, the two men published their first novel, Le Rour. Then, they embarked upon the Fantômas saga in February 1911. After Souvestre's death in February 1914, Allain continued the Fantômas saga alone, and launched several other pulp series, such as Tigris, Fatala and Miss Téria. In 1926, Allain married Henriette Kistler, Souvestre's girl-friend, and in 1939, he moved to Andrésy (the possible birth place of Arsène Lupin?). In total, Allain wrote more than 400 novels in his prolific career. |
