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.
“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
“Penciler Martín Morazzo has an evocatively brittle approach to line work and a talent for upsetting facial expressions, and colorist Chris O’Halloran infuses everything with block colors that, like the ice cream, seems simple but contains much sinister import.” —Vulture
“Prince is a master at clean, sharp dialogue, filled with dry humor and a heavy dose of existential dread.” -Rogues Portal
"Prince's work ups the ante with a precisely-crafted page-turner, sporting crisp line work by Morazzo and the dreamlike colors of O'Halloran." —Publishers Weekly
“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
