BOOM! Studios has given us a new look at the original graphic novel Hollow. From Lumberjanes co-creator Shannon Watters and co-writer Branden Boyer-White, artist Berenice Nelle, and colorists Kaitlyn Musto, Kieran Quigley, and Gonçalo Lopes comes a thrilling tale of mystery, curses, and crushes all set in the iconic Sleepy Hollow. Here’s the synopsis:
Isabel “Izzy” Crane and her family have just relocated to Sleepy Hollow, the town made famous by—and obsessed with—Washington Irving’s legend of the Headless Horseman. But city slicker-skeptic Izzy has no time for superstition as she navigates life at a new address, a new school, and, with any luck, new friends. Ghost stories aren’t real, after all….
Then Izzy is pulled into the orbit of the town’s teen royalty, Vicky Van Tassel (yes, that Van Tassel) and loveable varsity-level prankster Croc Byun. Vicky’s weariness with her family connection to the legend turns to terror when the trio begins to be haunted by the Horseman himself, uncovering a curse set on destroying the Van Tassel line. Now, they have only until Halloween night to break it—meaning it’s a totally inconvenient time for Izzy to develop a massive crush on the enigmatic Vicky.
Can Izzy’s practical nature help her face the unknown—or only trip her up? As the calendar runs down to the 31st, Izzy will have to use all of her wits and work with her friends to save Vicky and uncover the mystery of the legendary Horseman of Sleepy Hollow—before it’s too late.
In our first look we get to see Vicky and Izzy meet and what appears to be our introduction to Croc. I love spooky ghost stories and mysteries, so this is definitely one I want to check out when it releases on September 28, 2022 in local comic book shops or October 4 at bookstores everywhere.
