You should definitely give it a try:
http://shop.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?isbn=1887911510 

And here they even have one copy available, if for a very high price,
though:
http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=list&title=016972
47627&snumber=1

This is totally incredible for European readers: Only two volumes of
Franquin have been translated for the U.S. market and to get them you have
to search at the country's largest back-issue dealer.

But then who knows Jack Kirby's "New Gods" on our side of the big drink?
