Maurice Leblanc est né à Rouen en 1864. Il gagne Paris pour y mener une carrière littéraire, devient journaliste et publie ses premiers contes. Il fréquente alors le milieu des écrivains parisiens grâce à sa sœur Georgette Leblanc, cantatrice célèbre et femme de lettres en vue. En 1905, à la demande de son éditeur, il publie dans la revue Je sais tout la première aventure d'Arsène Lupin, qui devait initialement rester sans suite. Il en fera néanmoins une série riche de vingt-trois volumes mêlant romans, nouvelles et pièces de théâtre. Le personnage d'Arsène Lupin a inspiré par la suite de nombreux créateurs qui adapteront ses aventures pour le cinéma, la télévision et la bande dessinée. Maurice Leblanc est mort à Perpignan en 1941.
