The Eye Collector is a Kaleidoscopic Lovecraftian Thrill Ride Launching this June

Rising-star creative team Jonathan Ball and GMB Chomichuk debut an all-new cosmic horror in the upcoming The Eye Collector. This dizzying new series is set to launch in June from Image Comics.

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.

The Eye Collector #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, June 24.
