Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999) continues in Return to Sleepy Hollow! From Eisner Award–winning author Casey Gilly (Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer, “A Funeral in Foam”) comes a tale of buried truths, decaying bodies, and rotting gods. The Headless Horseman hasn’t plagued Sleepy Hollow for 15 years now, but unbeknownst to the residents of the drowsy valley, a deeper evil lurks in the roots of the town, and it will stop at nothing to quench its thirst for blood. Ichabod Crane is a man of science and, despite his indisputable brush with the supernatural, has built a name for himself debunking claims of the occult across the world. How more
All in all, this comic set the tone for a creepy new mystery featuring the infamous Ichabod Crane. I can't wait to see where this all goes.
