The Eye Collector #1 has quickly sold out and will be reprinted due to overwhelming demand from horror fans, showcasing a unique cosmic horror narrative.

The press release follows:

Media Release – The debut issue of The Eye Collector—by writer Jonathan Ball (Last Breeds, Clockfire) and writer/artist GMB Chomichuk (Blood Letters, Apocrypha: The Legend of Babymetal)—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.

“The response to The Eye Collector has been surreal,” said Chomichuk. “A reminder to me that stories sometimes have long journeys to their audience. Thank you to every store that took a chance and every reader that took one home. Seeing is believing.”

Ball added: “We’re beyond grateful but also a bit unnerved that our weird horror monster who gives its victims what they want has led us to sell out so fast. We wanted to collect eyes, and Image has blown us away with their hard work putting this book in front of faces.”

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.

Select praise for The Eye Collector:

“No one else is playing with the comic book medium quite like The Eye Collector. This daringly original work demands to be in your pull lists, so come aboard this ship before it takes off. The destination must be seen to be believed.” —Scott Snyder, Absolute Batman, Wytches

“A bizarre, surreal trip into a child’s mind.” —Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic

“The Eye Collector is the exquisite and elemental territory somewhere below surface and somewhere above depth. It is insufficient to merely explain these pages, or even say you’ve read them. The correct reaction, I think, is to drool.” —Tony Burgess, author and screenwriter of Pontypool

“Unlike anything else on the shelves this week… The atmosphere and artistry make a powerful first impression.” —AIPT

“An entrancing and endlessly disturbing read that you won’t soon forget.” —Get Your Comic On

“The first issue’s weird fun.” —You Don’t Read Comics

“Ball creates a dark, thrilling story in this first issue. I was initially intrigued by the premise, but became engaged with the story as it began to unfold. Whatever this entity is, it is incredibly interesting and equally scary. I like not knowing its intentions, but its personality is unique and I cannot wait to see where this story goes next and what this creature actually wants.” —The Super Powered Fancast

“No one else is playing with the comic book medium quite like The Eye Collector. This daringly original work demands to be in your pull lists.” —Scott Snyder, Absolute Batman, Wytches
