Ice Cream Man #19

From Image Comics in 2020, this unsettling installment of Ice Cream Man presents its cover as a deadpan instructional pamphlet — "Haunting for Beginners" — complete with three-step diagrams of sheet-draped figures learning to don their suits, roam invisibly, and observe the living. The vintage kraft-paper aesthetic and dry, bureaucratic tone ("A Sense of Your Own Insignificance") make the horror feel quietly creeping rather than loud, which is precisely what makes it so effective. W. Maxwell Prince writes, Martin Morazzo illustrates, and Chris O'Halloran colors this wonderfully strange series that continues to find new ways to get under your skin.
