Ice Cream Man #22

This holiday-themed issue of W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O'Halloran's unsettling anthology series wraps its darkness in cheerful seasonal packaging — the cover presents a giant advent calendar house, numbered doors counting down to 25, with skulls flanking the roofline and a massive centipede crawling across the middle. Door 7 reveals a slumped, pale Santa Claus, while the dapper Ice Cream Man himself steps out from door 18 with his usual unnerving grin, and a large spider lurks atop the chimney for good measure. It's a perfectly sinister twist on Christmas comfort, and the 2020 issue makes "opening the next door" feel like anything but a gift.
