The next adventure in the series, "The Curse of the Thirty Denarii", is divided in two volumes and is written by Jean Van Hamme. The first volume, titled "Le Manuscript de Nicodemus" ("The Manuscript of Nicodemus"), was drawn by René Sterne, who suddenly died on 15 November 2006, delaying the publication of the book. Sterne's girlfriend Chantal De Spiegeleer eventually completed his work, which was published on 20 November 2009. Aubin Frechon drew the second volume of the adventure, which was published 26 November 2010.
