I've actually downloaded these Fu-Manchu books from gutenberg, but have not read so far. Indeed, vitorian and post-victorian fiction, like "King Solomon's Mines" are very PC by today's standards. I was interested to read though the original sources for many cartoons I grew up with, like "Hong Kong Phooey", "The perils of Penelope Pitstop" and many other Hanna-Barbera subjects. Also, Scooby Doo draws heavily on Sherlock Holmes and similars...
the originals are far better though. I'm enjoying Arsène Lupin very much.
