Some sketches of Saint-Clair and Rouletabille from "The mystery of the yellow room" ☀️

Aww, I love this book and characters so much. It's one of those perfect classic detective stories that just doesn't get enough love. I never see any art for it which is a shame, sooo here's my contribution! 🤭

And... u know... just listen, i see something like spark between them 🤲🏻✨️

i'm in love with how Saint-Clair calls Rouletabille "my young friend " 🌠

Я редко шипперю кого-то, но порой случается всякое... но их отношения скорее на эмоциональном уровне, а не полностью тактильные. Я правда была расстроена, когда поняла, что я единственная кто создает что-то по этой книге. Так-то я и ранее рисовала этих двоих, но этим скетчам полгода, я не хочу их показывать☹️

is not the only book written by my all-time favorite journalist, Gaston Leroux. While he didn’t write as many books as Agatha Christie and isn’t as famous as Conan Doyle, his detective novels are, in my opinion, the most interesting and unique. I’ve just finished reading The Mystery of the Yellow Room, and I have to say, I liked it even more (is that even possible?) than The Phantom of the Opera. The characters, the story, and—most importantly—the style of his writing kept me up for three sleepless nights, just to uncover the secret of the room.

Do you know the feeling when you crave something similar, but not quite the same? That’s what I’m going through right now. Why couldn't he have left us a hundred more stories with the same flow?

Wow!

I was all set to be like, “oh yeah, I have that one,” to the point that I even took a picture...

But then my brain kicked on and I realized you said French, not Dutch.  And then I was full of the wonder of there being a second Rouletabille/Phantom crossover comic in the world.

So yes, now I am, and I’m so glad you sent this ask!  The Dutch crossover comic is Joseph Rouletabille: Het spook van de Opera by Duchateau and Swysen, while the French one is Une aventure de Rouletabille: le fantome de l’opera by Picaud and Odone:

Last night I dreamed that Emmanuel Macron - current french president - accidentally time traveled to the end of the 19th century and had adventures , and a love story, with Rouletabille, a fictionnal detective , the one of writer Gaston Leroux.
