First English volume of Lupin III (Manga) published by Tokyopop on April 8, 2003.

Synopsis

For the first time, renowned manga-ka Monkey Punch's classic tales of Lupin III hits the English-speaking world. In this thrilling volume, the master thief extraordinaire pilfers top-secret microfilm, escapes a high security prison, rescues a captured spy, challenges the underworld, is trapped on a desert island, and beds a bevy of beautiful dames while doing it all. Debuted in 1967, these original manga combine heart-pounding action with sophisticated flair in a way most western audiences hardly ever see.
