From his complete works book, really really funny, worth a look:

- Volume 1 to 39

- Volumes 40 - 42, , scanned directly.

And a little extra, detectives:

- Volumes 1 to 39

- Volumes 40 to 42, scanned directly too.

(BTW, a little Who's who would be very nice. Thaanks ^_^U)

Big Thanks to El Mundo de Aoyama for these. Greatest (albeit under construction) Aoyama site in Spanish.

Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...

How do you say "sushi" in Japanese? :D

I know nothing about Aoyama san but those pics are freakin hilarious. Is this guy related to Conan anime in anyway?

He's the author of the Meitantei Conan mangar, after which the anime is based of. BTW, the manga's faaar better than the anime, IMO.
In each volume he draws himself dying in some way and a portrait for a fiction detective and talks about him/her (or maybe "it" since there's a cat in there).

Cool, I learn something everyday. Meitani Conan I hear is immensely popular.

Those were great! This reminds me of a book I saw called "The Gashlycrumb Tinies." It was a bunch of deaths, but in a children's book format...

THAT'S DANNY. His hometown is New Orleans.

It's not every day you see a bunch of manga renditions of detectives. Some of them, such as Sherlock Holmes and Columbo, were easy to identify but others made me realize I'm a bit behind on knowing my fictional detectives. I think I picked out Miss Marple, Nancy Drew, and that cat from all those "The Cat Who ___" books but some of the others I'm spotty on. If there's a listing of who is being illustrated I'd like to see it.

I asked for it too. Here are the ones I know with some common Conan knowledge:

1- Can't guess who might he be.

2- Kogoro Akechi. Mouri is named after him and Conan Edogawa after his author, Rampo Edogawa
3- Hércules Poirot. From Belgium (not France!!) comes the best detective in the world, thanks to his order and method (and his impressive moustache). Yes, I read Agatha Christie, why do you ask?

4- Arsène Lupin. Lupin the III is his grandson. Kaito Kid is based a lot after him and Ran's name after his author, Maurice Leblanc

Leblanc Maurice

Reburan Mourisu
5- Jules Maigret, base for inspector Megure (Jap pronunciation for "Maigret"). Physically too, both are BIG.
6- Ichikosuke Kinda, if I remember right.

8- Heiji Zenigata, perhaps? I'm sure about the last name but not the first.
9- One tough guy, Philip Marlowe.
10- Auguste Dupain, the first super-detective like Holmes or Poirot (they're like him, actually) by Edgar Allan Poe.
11- Ellery Queen.
12- V.I. Warshawsky (maybe misspelled

), one of the girls Ai Haibara is named after (Ai comes from Warshawsky's 'I')
13- Father Brown.
14- Cordelia Grey, the other for Haibara. Grey -> Ash -> Haibara (Maybe I've said it wrong, but it was something like this)
15-17 (Can't remember)
18- Shunsaku Kudo. Shinichi is last named after him and Heiji Hattori after Shunsaku's best friend.
19- Good ol' Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
20- Miss Jane Marple herself.
21- Sam Spade, another tough guy.
22-25 Don't remember or still don't know (we're in number 23 in Spain). I'm really curious about the cat, you say it's from a series of books? Funny.
26- Got French version of this reeeaally good volume and he's called <Whatever> Samejima, the Shark ('Same' means shark, apparently)
Don't know the rest.
...............
Ouh! I almost forgot... Number 7 is Lieutenant Columbo

Number 27 is Sean Connery as Bond, James Bond. I thought that it couldn't possibly be him, because I don't really think of him as a detective, but once Sensenic pointed out Hannibal Lecter, I realized that Gosho Aoyama was being sort of liberal with the term "detective".

And is the Batman: The Animated Series incarnation of Harvey Bullock based on Jules Maigret? The similarity is rather striking.

Thanks for the partial listing. I'm surprised at some of the choices -I have yet to read an Arsene Lupin where he quits robbing people long enough to do some detective work- but it's still quite a collection. Adding to the list, if I had to guess I would say #29 is Charlie Chan. Is #22 Mike Hammer?

Yup, they are. I tried to complete the list with a katakana table, but some of them are hard as hell. The question mark means I wasn't able to "decipher" him ^_^U. Here's what I got:

17- Nero Wolfe, (or Wolf or Wolff, don't remember) the gourmet.
24- Perry Mason as Undead Fred said (hey, this sounds nice).
27- Zero, Darkzero. As James Bond pointed. Now, wait a minute... o_O
29- Charlie Chan, indeed.
30- John ?Rindaiku?
32- Mike Hammer, as you said
33- Fairo --nshi? No idea about this one
35- Doruri- Re-n? Same
36- Catherine Turner. Or Katherine, not sure. Don't know her.
37- Henry Jackson. Don't know him either
39- ?Shai? Archer
42- Joseph ?Rurutayu?

Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...

Of course I have been aware of this thread yet I was unable to post on it until today... I must say that there is great info here; things that even I ignored X_X

For the record yes, Conan is popular, it even came to a point where mcdonals used Meitantei Conan characters for the promo's instead of their stinking clown... I believe that was in Honk Kong -can't recall now-

PS: Kaitou kid is scheduled to appear in the next files of Meitantei Conan in japan; damn good that the Kid is back at it again
