Premise
The series is a anthological horror comic series of very loosely connected stories that share a common link- a seemingly normal ice cream man named Rick, who possesses inexplicable dark powers which he uses upon unsuspecting people. Rick's role in each issue ranges from protagonist to brief cameo, but appears most often as a supporting character. Rick's nemesis Caleb, a man dressed in an all black cowboy outfit, sporadically appears in the series trying to thwart Rick's plans.The stories range from bleak and graphic horror to light comedy, but have grown increasingly surreal as the series goes on- issues often incorporate gimmicks into their format.
