PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- Summer looms and the suburban air is filled with thecheery jingle of the approaching ice cream man in this caustic, ongoingmultigenre anthology of single-issue stories by the same creative team. Thepurveyor of frosty treats is eagerly anticipated by all, but his friendlydemeanor masks miraculous powers and a sinister omnipresence that links thetales. The lives of a young boy with a dark secret and a lethal ?friend,? adesperate heroin addict, a washed-up one-hit wonder from the dawn of rock 'n'roll, and a young man wrestling with the fears and uncertainty of impendingfatherhood all intersect with Rick, the ice cream man, on his route. As thestories progress, hints are dropped that there is more to Rick than simplyserving as a Rod Serling for this contemporary Twilight Zone. Prince's work upsthe ante from his earlier efforts (One Week in the Library) with aprecisely-crafted page-turner, sporting crisp line work by Morazzo (The ElectricSublime) and the dreamlike colors of O'Halloran (Magnus). This is a perfectlybitter confection for those with a taste for short-form shockers, accented byadult language and content. (June)
