Nicolas De Crécy's unique work of surrealism and fantasy, starring one lonely seal pup lost in a vast and corrupt metropolis. The Devil is everywhere in New York-on-the-Seine. But the arrival of Diego the Seal in this sinister and soulless port may just change that. There, Diego is courted by the upper echelons of the city, who want to groom him for the Nobel Prize of Love. Eisner-nominated creator Nicolas De Crécy ( Foligatto, NBM's Salvatore ) has created here a totally original world, rich in absurdist humor, and presented in a beautiful tumult of painted colors.

The first work by the one and only Nicolas de Crécy (The Celestial Bibendum, NBM's Salvatore series, Glacial Period) is a lyrical and gorgeously illustrated dark tale, and nothing short of a milestone of its time! In order to revive the image of the town of Eccenihilo, a big carnival is organized with as a grand finale, the homecoming of the local golden child, the famous opera star and eunuch Foligatto. The artist's return to his roots, however, triggers a whirlwind series of dark and eccentric tribulations.
