The debut issue of The Eye Collector—by writer Jonathan Ball and writer/artist GMB Chomichuk—has launched big with horror fans and sold out completely at the distributor level. This all-new cosmic horror premiere will be rushed back to print by Image in order to keep up with reorder activity.

The Eye Collector #1, second printing will also feature psychedelic new cover art by Chomichuk.

In The Eye Collector, an ancient being has its curiosity toward Earth reignited when the humans of the Apollo 10 mission make wishes over the Moon. But what is this spectral creature, and what does it want with our world? Seeing is believing…

The Eye Collector explores themes of desire and fantasy while focusing on how our perspective informs and shapes our reality. We have seen, of course, nightmare versions of how this unfolds in the political and social world, as algorithms have transformed the media landscape into distorted funhouse mirrors, and AI increasingly makes our world hallucinatory and erodes our ability to discern the real from the deepfake.

However, the story focuses more claustrophobically on how the monstrous Eye Collector, who returns to Earth and begins to tempt the parents of a child living in a neglectful household with realizing their dreams in exchange for their son’s eyes.
