Missed It: Eddie Campbell Omnibuses Coming From Top Shelf in 2009, 2010

I totally whiffed on this piece of happy publishing news: Top Shelf Comix will be releasing huge omnibus-style volumes from Eddie Campbell's signature series, Alec and Bacchus. The Alec book is first, due up in 2009 and will include:
The ALEC (LIFE-SIZE OMNIBUS) will collect all the stories from THE KING CANUTE CROWD, THREE PIECE SUIT, HOW TO BE AN ARTIST, AFTER THE SNOOTER, as well as the very early out-of-print ALEC stories and tons of bonus material. It will definitely be the definitive ALEC tome.
while the Bacchus books promise:
The BACCHUS (TWO-VOLUME OMNIBUS) will collect all 1,000 pages of the BACCHUS saga -- yes, that's ONE THOUSAND PAGES!! -- the entire epic in two giant 500-page volumes.
Those are both excellent series and in my opinion the Alec material is an easy top 100 all-timer.
