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.
