Ice Cream Man #34

Two figures — a weathered older man and a young person in a hoodie — sit side by side in the open doorway of a graffiti-tagged freight car, bathed in the warm amber glow of what looks like a sunset sky. Scrawled on the boxcar beside them: "THERE GOES YOUR LIFE" — a quietly unsettling detail that feels perfectly at home in W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O'Halloran's anthology of everyday dread. This 2023 Image series continues to find the eerie and the melancholy in ordinary moments, and this cover promises another story steeped in that bittersweet atmosphere.
