Ice Cream Man is a semi-anthological dark comedy horror comic book series that premiered in 2018 from Image Comics.

Premise

The series is a semi-anthological horror comic series of loosely connected stories that all share the common link of a mysterious ice cream man named Rick (revealed to be Riccardus) who while a seemingly ordinary Ice Cream Man possesses inexplicable powers which he uses upon unsuspecting people. Rick's nemesis Caleb, a man dressed in an all black cowboy outfit, will sporadically appear in the series trying to thwart Rick's plans sometimes successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully.

Reception

Since its debut the series has received positive reviews. On the review aggregator, Comic Book Roundup, the series averaged a rating of 8.5 out of 10 based on a sample of 150 critics.[1]

Adaptation

In October 2018, it was announced an adaptation of the series was in development at Universal Cable Productions.[2] In February 2020, it was announced the series had been picked up by mobile streaming platform Quibi.[3] With Quibi's shut down in December 2020, the fate of the series was mostly undetermined.[4] However, in January of 2021 W. Maxwell Prince mentioned that the series is still in production.[5] In September 2024, it was announced Screen Gems had acquired the rights to the series with Alfred Gough and Miles Millar writing the adaptation.[6]
