Two thousand years after he betrayed Messiah, Judas Iscariot is still alive, wandering a world he doesn't recognize. A world where the strangest of fictions have come true: monsters, immortals, gnome-librarians who monitor human history-they're all real. And all Judas wants to do is kill himself. So why can't he?
ICE CREAM MAN writer W. MAXWELL PRINCE brings his signature style of one-shot storytelling to the world of clowns—and he’s invited SOME OF COMIC’S BEST ARTISTS to join him for the ride.

With chapters drawn by VANESA DEL REY (REDLANDS), GABRIEL WALTA (VISION), ROGER LANGRIDGE (THOR), and more, Haha peeks under the big top, over the rainbow, and even inside a balloon to tell a wide-ranging slew of stories about “funny” men and women, proving that some things are so sad you just have to laugh.

W. MAXWELL PRINCE (ICE CREAM MAN) continues to push the comics envelope with SWAN SONGS—a moving, multi-artist anthology that explores the way things END…and also how they never really do. The End of the World. The End of a Marriage. The End of Eden. The End of a Sentence. The End of Anhedonia. …even The End of the Sidewalk! And along for the terminal ride are some of the industry’s best, brightest artists! Martin Simmonds (DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH), Caspar Wijngaard (HOMESICK PILOTS), Filipe Andrade (The Many Deaths of Laila Starr), Caitlin Yarsky (Black Hammer), Alex Eckman-Lawn (renowned collage master), and Martín Morazzo (ICE CREAM MAN) each contribute a chapter in their respective (and beloved) styles, resulting in a stunning melange of powerful stories that weave their way through death, love, divorce, crime, therapy, and language itself. All things come to a close; these are the SWAN SONGS. Collects SWAN SONGS #1-6
GREETINGS FROM NOWHERE. In the parched wastelands of California, a lovable drunken lowlife named Denis awakens on the outskirts of an odd little village called Nowhere, home to a friendly populace of deformed, mutated, and just-left-of-normal citizens. Not knowing where he is or how he got there (or if the town is even real), Denis is given quarter in a flophouse above a bar and acquaints himself with the townsfolk - but just when he starts to regain his memories, his past catches up with him… What at first seems like merely a bad trip quickly heightens into a drama of mistaken identities, small-town conspiracy, and high-stakes fantasy fulfillment. Critically acclaimed creators W. Maxwell Prince (Ice Cream Man), Tyler Jenkins (Grass Kings), and Hilary Jenkins (Black Badge) present an unforgettable thriller that explores the miraculous, the mundane, and all the mysteries in between. Collects King of Nowhere #1-5.

Presenting here the first major work from the creative minds behind ICE CREAM MAN-re-lettered, remastered, and under its original intended name! The world of fine art is falling apart, and only ART BRUT knows how to fix it. Alongside the Bureau of Artistic Integrity, Arthur Brut the Mad Dreampainter (and his trusty sidekick, Manny the Mannequin) must dive back into the very paintings that made him insane...or reality itself might just crumble to pieces. A colorful, gonzo romp through art and art history, ART BRUT is equal parts police procedural, hyper-fantasy, and psychological thriller--a veritable Pollock-splatter of comics genres tossed onto one giant pulpy canvas! Each chapter features new cover art, new design, and a new Silver Age-style backup story featuring the art hero that no one's ever heard of--until now! Originally published under the title The Electric Sublime, this special hardcover edition presents the NPR-lauded, critically acclaimed material in its intended form. Collects ART BRUT #1-4
Welcome to the Library. It's here that every story ever written is catalogued and monitored by a single man, who's begun to notice something strange: the books are rebelling.
Open wide for four more scoops of the bestselling, critically acclaimed, psycho-horror comic ICE CREAM MAN. Here, bound with medium-grade paper glue, are four tales of objective subjectivity: a man's last wishes are carried out; a controlled experiment loses all control; a cosmic scale is balanced (in verse!); Doug tries his darndest to get clean. It's another assemblage of anguish and ennui for the anthologically-inclined art appreciator. Lickety split, y'all! Collects ICE CREAM MAN #29-32
