''Mélusine'' started out as a feature in the ''[[ComicBook/SpirouAndFantasio Spirou]]'' magazine back in 1992, and in 1995 the first album came out. Like many other Franco-Belgian comics of the type, ''Mélusine'' started out mostly telling simple one-page gag stories, but after a time expanded to tell longer stories as well, and several of the albums have a theme or overarching meta-plot that ties even the shorter gag stories together, like album 9 having the witches studying for their hypnosis exam, or album 15 has Mélusine taking care of her bratty niece Malicella. After Gilson's departure, Clarke stepped in as the writer and the series took a 180° turn in terms of direction: the stories stopped being one-page gags and relying on BlackComedy and became album-lengt with serious elements added on top of that.
