The series is still being released here, as far as I know. Book 15 is due next month, and the others will likely come out over the next couple of years.

I find the graphics in Swan absoulutely amazing, although this series was created in the 70′s (which is a little creepy, no offense)but has CMX trnaslated all 21 of these books? Why did they only translate 15 of them? (I was just going to read the first and last book to avoid reading the samething over and over)

The pictures in this book are pretty amazing but the story line wasn’t exactly the best. I couldn’t understand some parts and there was a little too much drama in it.

You know what? I read your first sentence too fast “no doubt, conclude in volume twelve.” and skipped over that the competition would conclude… sorry!

Erin,

Everything I’ve read suggests that CMX is committed to publishing the entire series in English. Was there something I said above that suggested otherwise?

I thought Swan was 22 volumes long? CMX isn’t planning to cancel it are they? Because I totally asked them and they said they’d keep publishing it…

Jenny,

I look forward, then, to seeing the twists arise in upcoming volume but, in all honesty, you had me at “Swan”

Agree with you entirely re the fabulousness of SWAN, Rob, but in fact the main storyline is due to take an unexpected turn quite soon… (well, “soon” in story time; in CMX’s terms, who knows?) – JennyN
