Eyelash Out is a Retrofit comic from 2014. It consists of 24 pages and a cover, mostly ink on paper. It is incredibly detailed and dense; there is a lot to read here and a lot to look at. Although it is a small comic – a mini comic – the pages have up to 12 panels on them. The basic story is that the Queen gives one of her eyelashes to a girl. Then a boy, perhaps her brother, steals an eyelash, and they go on an adventure.
Three words come to mind when describing Eyelash Out: strange, fantastic, and disturbing. I use the word "fantastic" a lot in my reviews, but let me explain what I really mean by that word. It's not just another euphemism for "awesome" or "good"; it means "otherworldly" or "in the realm of fantasy." Eyelash Out takes you to the bizarre world of Ben Sea, the creator.
