Ice Cream Man #25

The cover of this oversized 25th issue says everything you need to know about Ice Cream Man's unique brand of dread: a wide-body passenger jet viewed from above, both engines trailing vivid flames against a dusky sky, while a tiny solitary figure stands on the wing — a queasy image rendered with disarming calm by Martín Morazzo. That cheerful, retro Ice Cream Man logo floating beneath the burning plane is exactly the kind of sweet-meets-sinister contrast W. Maxwell Prince and his collaborators have made their signature. With Chris O'Halloran's moody twilight palette and the story titled "Certain Descents," this 2021 milestone issue promises the anthology's trademark blend of mundane horror and something you won't easily shake.
