Description
Book SynopsisChocolate, 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.
Trade Review“I felt like I was reading Willy Wonka meets The Howling, which would honestly be one of the most epic mashups in comics.”
-Horror News Network“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“Prince is a master at clean, sharp dialogue, filled with dry humor and a heavy dose of existential dread.”
-Rogues Portal“ICE CREAM MAN is a trippy, twisted, and surreal ride into suburban horror, and it's just damn fun to read.”
-Monkeys Fighting Robots“Taps into the center of the Venn Diagram of our collective nightmares. It's also a seriously fun mash-up.”
