Harry Dickson - Jean-Michel Nicollet

For those who don't know, Harry Dickson is a great detective who battle villains as the Heir of Dracula, blood-thirsty Aztec gods and the deadly Gorgon.
Harry Dickson series was a Holmesian pastiche created in Germany in 1907 and hugely popular in France, Holland, and Germany. The great Jean Ray wrote a lot of Dickson stories. Here's a portrait of Dickson (French artist Jean-Michel Nicollet himself!), hand-signed by Nicollet-Dickson!

According to James Monaco's book on Alain Resnais, Resnais tried for years to make a Dickson movie (with Dirk Bogarde in the title role, no less) but, sadly, was never able to get it off the ground.

I don't know who you guys are, but you seem to be some of the only Jean Ray/Harry Dickson "scholars" in the US! I just started a harry Dickson fanpage on facebook, and would love to meet other people to stimulate discussion and so on...does anybody know of any plans for future translations? Later this year when i have some time off I'd like to try translating some of the "Derniers Contes de Canterbury," and I wonder if enough interested people could collaborate on a project to translate at least some of the Dickson stories...
