Ice Cream Man decoder special gets a second printing with different hidden artwork

Image Comics has ordered a second printing of Ice Cream Man #1: Chocolate/Vanilla Twist after the decoder-cover special sold out at distributor level. The new printing is scheduled for December 2, 2026, and changes the interactive cover rather than simply repeating the first version. The edition revisits the cover used
for the original first issue’s second printing in 2018. Looking through the included decoder lens reveals additional hidden pictures and messages. W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo’s horror series is therefore using the reprint to offer another version of the visual trick that distinguished the special. Inside, the
edition includes remastered lettering by Good Old Neon and a new short story from the creative team. Distributor sellout describes the supply available to shops through that channel; it does not establish that every retailer has run out. Readers who missed the earlier special can ask for the December printing, while
anyone seeking the original interactive artwork should check which version a shop is offering. The publisher also points toward the series’ fiftieth issue in 2027. Official source. Image credit: Martín Morazzo / Image Comics.
