There is no true narrative connection between the illustrations, over a decade’s worth, but a modest skim of the work of Kilian Eng gives the impression of massive world-building, an immersive experience linked from image to image. Eng has spent his career in and out of pop culture, all the while crafting a universe of his own creation. In it, space is infinite and life is boundless. Beyond the fright of the endless black of night is the breaking of that fear into the possibilities of the cosmos.
Oregon publisher Floating World Comics’ latest release is Object Compendium, a collection of their previous three artbooks with Eng. Beyond combining the art from Eng’s Object 5, Object 10, and Object 15 monographs, Object Compendium includes thirty pages of never-released art. Object Compendium is available in both regular and special editions in the Floating World Comics Shop.
