Detective Picture Book

This is a featured article on the Detective Conan Wiki. This article was featured on January 18, 2011

The Detective Picture Book (名探偵図鑑 ,Meitantei Zukan), fully titled Gosho Aoyama's Detective Picture Book (青山剛昌の名探偵図鑑 ,Aoyama Gōshō no Meitantei Zukan), is a special feature included on the dust-jacket of each Detective Conan manga volume. Each installment features a brief write-up on a famous fictional detective (or, in rare cases, a criminal), a colored illustration, and a story recommendation from Aoyama.

In the English localization, this feature is referred to as "Gosho Aoyama's Mystery Library" and - because manga is generally not sold with dust-jackets in the West - relegated to a black-and-white page at the very end of the volume.
