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 Foamâ€) 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

Oct 29, 2025All 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. It made me want to go rewatch the Tim Burton version of the original story, and no better time than just days before All Hallows' Eve. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Read Full Review

Oct 29, 2025There's a stiffness to Return to Sleepy Hollow #1, a similar feeling I had from the little I've seen the film and the numerous trailers. With that stiffness, for me, it's all rather slow. There's nothing bad with that overall, it just doesn't appeal to me as a reader, a personal thing than anything the creators have done. But, from reading it, I have a feeling those who really enjoy the original film will enjoy this. Read Full Review
