Ice Cream Man #23

Image Comics' beloved anthology of dread and dark wonder returns with issue #23, "Late Night Splashes," and the cover sets the tone perfectly: the Ice Cream Man himself sits behind a late-night talk-show desk, white uniform and captain's hat impeccably in place, grinning at his studio guest — a skeleton lounging in the guest chair beside a wilting potted plant. Martín Morazzo frames the whole unsettling scene beneath a neon marquee sign buzzing with cheerful, carnival-bright colors that contrast beautifully with the macabre company on stage. W. Maxwell Prince, Morazzo, and colorist Chris O'Halloran continue to make this one of Image's most singular series, and this issue promises another twisted turn of the channel.
