Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, addiction, musical fantasy...there's a flavor for everyone's misery.

ICE CREAM MAN is a genre-defying comic book series, featuring disparate "one-shot" tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man--a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who with a snap of his fingers--lickety split!--can change the course of your life forever.

Written by W. MAXWELL PRINCE (ONE WEEK IN THE LIBRARY), with art by MARTíN MORAZZO (SNOWFALL, GREAT PACIFIC).

Collects issues 1-4.

Praise for this book

"A haunting horror tale that is both entertaining and eerie." -Impulse Gamer
"Prince is fast building an unusual resume in comics, and Morazzo's style recalls the precise line work of greats like Frank Quitely. You'll never look at ice cream trucks the same way after this one." -Paste Magazine
"This series is an achievement in design and imagination, and it is incredibly good." -The Oregonian
"Taps into the center of the Venn Diagram of our collective nightmares. It's also a seriously fun mash-up." -Newsarama
"ICE CREAM MAN is a trippy, twisted, and surreal ride into suburban horror, and it's just damn fun to read." -Monkeys Fighting Robots
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Summer looms and the suburban air is filled with the cheery jingle of the approaching ice cream man in this caustic, ongoing multigenre anthology of single-issue stories by the same creative team. The purveyor of frosty treats is eagerly anticipated by all, but his friendly demeanor masks miraculous powers and a sinister omnipresence that links the tales. The lives of a young boy with a dark secret and a lethal ?friend, ? a desperate heroin addict, a washed-up one-hit wonder from the dawn of rock 'n' roll, and a young man wrestling with the fears and uncertainty of impending fatherhood all intersect with Rick, the ice cream man, on his route. As the stories progress, hints are dropped that there is more to Rick than simply serving as a Rod Serling for this contemporary Twilight Zone. Prince's work ups the ante from his earlier efforts (One Week in the Library) with a precisely-crafted page-turner, sporting crisp line work by Morazzo (The Electric Sublime) and the dreamlike colors of O'Halloran (Magnus). This is a perfectly bitter confection for those with a taste for short-form shockers, accented by adult language and content. (June)
