Centuries ago, Simon Petrikov was a caring friend and pseudo-father figure to a young Marceline. But then the power of the ice crown became too much and he allowed it to turn him into the princess-stealing baddie of the Land of Ooo. Now, the crown has been destroyed and Simon is slowly returning to his former self. 

Unfortunately, accepting the years of pain and hardship he caused others during his time as Ice King is easier said than done. This problem later seems preferable when all of his memories, including his centuries with Marceline, begin to disappear. When Bubblegum’s attempt to help him fails, Marceline realizes they only have one person left to turn to — her dad. Trusting Hunson Abadeer for anything is a risk, but when he realizes how close Marceline and Simon really are…he puts his own plan into action. Will Simon ever get his memories back or is he doomed to never truly reunite with Marcy? 

Olivia Olson, the actress who provided Marceline’s voice for 10 seasons of Adventure Time, leads this heart-wrenching look into Marcy’s past. Featuring the cartoonish art by Slimm Fabert (Adventure Time), this issue is the perfect story for any fan of the dynamic duo of Marcy and Simon!
