A highly entertaining, idiosyncratic mini-memoir, with recipes, about 25 years of running a gourmet ice cream shop down the street from Harvard and MIT. Gus Rancatore shares his initiation into ice cream making, catering to customers, managing employees, and tracking changes in music, teen culture, and the urban landscape.

The critically acclaimed series of not-so-sweet singular stories continues with four more tales of woe and wonder. Here: the ballad of a falling man; a three-flavored silent meditation; a young girl's quest with her dead best friend; a potpourri of suburban emergencies. Plus: more is revealed about the mischievous Ice Cream Man and his history with the dark cowboy, Caleb. Collects ICE CREAM MAN #5-8

ÒSTRANGE NEAPOLITANÓ Sometimes, without a word, your life splits into three.

“I’ve literally never read anything like this ‘genre-defying,’ sorta-anthology thing, but it’s f*cking awesome. The writing is strange and deeply unsettling, and the artwork is gorgeous. The new comic I most look forward to reading each month.” —BRIAN K. VAUGHAN (SAGA, PAPER GIRLS) Collecting the first twelve issues of the critically acclaimed, bestselling anthology comic ICE CREAM MAN, this oversized hardcover offers a veritable super-sundae of storytelling flavors. From the haunting inaugural issue, to an exploration of opioid abuse, to a lauded three-tiered silent meditation, to even the far reaches of future outer space—there’s a sliver of suffering here for everyone. The Ice Cream Man is coming around the block…can you hear his sweet little song? Collects ICE CREAM MAN #1-12 TRIM SIZE: 7.25" x 10.875"
