Ice Cream Man: The Mortal Coil Shuffle Card Set Special #1

ICE CREAM MAN is proud to present an unprecedented comic book EVENT.

Continuing their exploration into just what a comic can BE, the award-nominated team responsible for ICE CREAM MAN — one of the most enduring comics of the last decade — have pushed the envelope so far it's fallen right off the table. 

“The Mortal Coil Shuffle” is a one-time-only, one-of-a-kind ICE CREAM MAN story... told via a deck of 55 “playing” cards, rather than within the periodical pages of a traditional floppy comic book.

ICE CREAM MAN "The Mortal Coil Shuffle" is a beautiful, custom-designed deck of cards (featuring custom backs and a custom box, too!). All art is, as ever, by Ice Cream Man stalwarts Morazzo, Chris O’Halloran, and Good Old Neon. Some cards will tell part of the story; while other cards cast inscrutable spells on unwitting characters; and some must be joined with other cards to form a complete piece of art (the card deck’s version of a “spread.”). It's a first-of-its-kind comic experiment, and also, perhaps, the last...

It's a first-of-its-kind comic experiment, and also, perhaps, the last...

The Mortal Coil Shuffle will be printed once and once only — no second printings, no new runs, and never collected in a trade of any kind. It will exist — and then, like magic — it won’t.

So get ready to Go Fish, Draw Four, Declare War, and (probably) Fold Your Hand in this exciting comic book delivery style — told, of course, in the creepy, strange voice readers have come to expect from Ice Cream Man yarns.

Good luck, and watch out for those Wild Cards!
