Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow film gets a comics sequel from IDW

As was previously reported, IDW's launching quite an imprint dedicated to the darkness, and now, Entertainment Weekly reports they're adapting film director Tim Burton's 1999 Sleepy Hollow movie to comics format:
The Headless Horseman of Tim Burton's cinematic nightmare rides again.

Sleepy Hollow, the 1999 classic from the Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands director, is getting a sequel — just not on the big screen. IDW Dark, the horror imprint of IDW Publishing, will release Return to Sleepy Hollow, a new comic series set 15 years after the events of the movie, Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal.

[...] "I’ve always had a fascination with spiritualism, early Victorian funeral practices, and folklore, so combining them together in the world of Sleepy Hollow has made my elder goth heart so full," Gilly continues. "It’s been delightful to create scripts for Savanna and to see their elegant, refined, and beautifully gory art make the book come alive. They are truly a talent to keep your eye on."

Mayer shares their own statement. "There was always a rumor going around about me in high school about how I just draw dead people all time. Well, now I get paid to draw dead people!" they say. "Bones! Trees! Historical wear! I couldn’t ask for more. Based on amazing folktale source material from my home state, I couldn’t be more thrilled for my comic debut. With motifs of creepy trees, historical wear and gore, it’s a dream come true to draw Sleepy Hollow and I truly am spoiled for choice."

[...] "We are so honored to be able to continue the story of Tim Burton's 1999 Sleepy Hollow. Fans of Sleepy Hollow, horror, gothic romance, and all things weird will find a lot to love in our series," Riley Farmer, an editor on the title, shares in a statement. "Casey Gilly has been putting together a story packed with bone-chilling murders, tender moments, and supernatural mysteries. And Savanna Mayer captures it all so beautifully, with haunting, gothic imagery that breathes life (and death!) into the story. Ichabod returns to Sleepy Hollow in a tale that is sure to knock your head off!"
Ugh, and look how the assigned writers/artists are gushing over the violent visuals that look to be seen in this adaptation. We could honestly do without this. With such marketing, it's no wonder creativity and positivity are going down the drain. This is another example of how IDW's becoming woefully outmoded.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
