In July 1914, in the literary review <em>Mercure de France<\/em>, Apollinaire declared the imaginary richness of <em>Fant\u00f4mas<\/em> unparalleled.

Over the next two decades, poets such as Blaise Cendrars (who called the series &#8220;The Aeneid of Modern Times&#8221;), Max Jacob, Jean Cocteau, and Robert Desnos, and painters such as Juan Gris, Yves Tanguy, and Ren\u00e9 Magritte, incorporated <em>Fant\u00f4mas<\/em> motifs into their works. Pierre Pr\u00e9vert&#8217;s 1928 film, <em>Paris la Belle<\/em>, featured a <em>Fant\u00f4mas<\/em> book cover in the closing sequence, and the <em>Lord of Terror<\/em> was adapted to the surrealist screen in Ernest Moerman&#8217;s 1936 film short, <em>Mr. Fant\u00f4mas, Chapitre 280,000<\/em>.
