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?

A Spirou & Fantasio Adventure - Vol. 3 - p.41-44

Today's batch contains the infamous cave scene in which Seccotine tries to fight the cold by... but I don't want to spoiler anything, so just download the file to find out what happens.

How many more releases before the books are complete?

In case you're wondering how many more 4-page batches I'll be releasing before the books I'm working on are complete, here's a quick overview:

• Spirou & Fantasio Adventure: The book has 59 pages in total. Out of those I translated 40, so that's 19 more pages to go. In other words, there will be 5 more batches of S&F before the book is complete.
• Violine: So far I've worked through 20 pages, that leaves 26 pages I have yet to translate. The last 6 pages I'll release in one batch, so that's 6 more batches.
• Little Spirou: There are 16 pages left out of the total 44, so that 4 more batches.
• Donito: Just like with Little Spirou 28 pages are done, 16 pages are left. So 4 more batches before the first Donito book is complete.
