Summary of Icon #30 (Oct. 1995), from now-defunct webpage at http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=215&:
The funeral of Buck Wild is attended by Icon among others. Icon gives an eulogy. The guests (Lysistrata Jones, Sweetstick Max, Cockroach Andy) tell off past Buck Wild stories and guises (Buck Goliath, Jim Crow, Buck Lightning). The service is interrupted by the Kingfish who is mad that Buck Wild (his enemy) is dead and brings him back as Buck Voodoo. Buck Voodoo tries to kill Kingfish and then decides being a zombie is useless. He goes back to death.
