It's decided: Next Project will be Mélusine


Good news, everyone! Anon has heard my call and went through the trouble of getting me better scans of the first Mélusine book. So, it's decided: After I'm done with The Crypt of Champignac, I'll start working on Mélusine.

Fabulous work, Anon! Thank you.

Next Project: Mélusine?

Anon suggested that I translate Mélusine next. What do you guys think? IMO it'd make a good follow-up project once I'm done with "The Crypt of Champignac".

I know that four of the books were officially translated by Cinebook, so that would leave us with the following:
  1. Sortilèges
  2. Le Bal des vampires (Cinebook release)
  3. Inferno
  4. Histoires à lire au coin du feu
  5. Philtres d'amour (Cinebook release)
  6. Farfadets et korrigans
  7. Hocus Pocus (Cinebook release)
  8. Halloween (Cinebook release)
  9. Hypnosis
  10. Contes de la pleine lune
  11. Mélusine à l'école des Maléfices
  12. La Belle et la Bête
  13. Superstitions
  14. La cuisine du Diable
  15. L'Apprentie sorcière
  16. Ballet enchanté
  17. Sang pour sang
  18. Malédiction
  19. (L’Élixir de jouvence) - I couldn't find any RAWs of this one
It would be nice to do them chronologically - especially since I prefer the earlier character design - but the problem is that most scans I found are downright horrible. Especially the older books. This is an example from the first book:


I even looked for Dutch and German scans of the book, since Wikipedia mentions a Dutch version and I know that the first two books were released in Germany in 2000/2001. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything.
And I don't really feel like working with such low-quality RAWs. The only good ones I found are from book 12, 13, 14 and 15. So unless someone can get me better scans of the earlier books, I'd start with book 12.

Any opinions on this?
