Nicolas de Crécy is one of the greatest artists currently working in comics, and his book THE CELESTIAL BIBENDUM is spectacular proof of that. An English language edition goes on sale tomorrow in the UK from Knockabout, but probably some copies will be slipping into the US. You can also order a deluxe edition from TFAW for $55.96. Pricey but beautiful.
Man, that is old stuff :)
Over at BN.com, it’s listed as being published by Humanoids…

Nicolas de Crécy (Story & art)
From multiple Eisner nominated creator and European star Nicolas De Crecy (SALVATORE, GLACIAL PERIOD) comes a masterpiece of color and irony, recounting the absurd tale of one lonely seal pup by the name of Diego in the vast and corrupt metropolis of New York-on-the-Seine.
Presented in Humanoids Deluxe treatment: limited and numbered edition of only 550 copies.

That Humanoids slipcased hardcover is beautiful. Expensive, but worth it.
Especially if you like The Triplets of Belleville.
Yes, our version, which was released on April 4th in the US, is for the North American market only.
Knockabout, whom we sold the UK rights to, has its own edition (same as ours but without the slipcase) destined for the UK market only.
Enjoy (on either side of the pond & beyond)!
