The daring exploits of Fant???mas in his attempts to get possession of the King of Hesse-Weimar's famous diamond. Marcel Allain (1885-1970) was a French writer mostly remembered today for his co-creation with Pierre Souvestre of the fictional arch-villain and master criminal Fant???mas. The son of a Parisian bourgeois family, Allain studied law before becoming a journalist. He then became 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. Investigating Magistrate Germain Fuselier, later to become a recurring character in the Fant???mas series, appears in the novel. Then, in February 1911, Allain and Souvestre embarked upon the Fant???mas book series at the request of publisher Arth???me Fayard, who wanted to create a new monthly pulp magazine. The success was immediate and lasting. After Souvestre's death in February 1914, Allain continued the Fant???mas saga alone, then launched several other series, such as Tigris, Fatala, Miss T???ria and F???rocias, but none garnered the same popularity as Fant???mas. In 1926, Allain married Souvestre's girl-friend, Henriette Kistler. In total, Allain wrote more than 400 novels in his prolific career.
