thanks por posting it
There are some really good things, good ilustrations, especially on compendium 1... there are those industrial photos, I liked them, they remind me of Hilla & Bernd Becher. And the shots of the eyes are really good too.

By the way, maybe this is a bit off topic... but the comic on compendium 5, it is indeed the world's worst comic as the title says
