Biografía breve: Bo Hampton attended college at the School of Visual Arts in New York, where he studied under Will Eisner. He went to work as Eisner's assistant afterwards. In 1980 he started to work for Witching Hour. In 1994, Hampton completed the painted art for 'Batman: Castle of the Bat', and a vampire graphic novel entitled 'Verdilak' followed, based on a short story by A.K. Tolstoy. Later on, he pencilled the final issues of 'Batman and Robin Adventures', as well as the mini-series 'Batman Adventures: The Lost Year'. In between, Hampton has done several works, varying from 'Swamp Thing' to 'New Mutants' and the graphic novel 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. He has also contributed to 'Confessions of a Cereal Eater' by Rob Maisch, 1995. He then spent a year as a professor at Savannah College of Art and Design, helping to develop the original incarnation of their Sequential Arts program before moving into the realms of storyboarding animated shows and TV commercials.

The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow por Washington Irving

This was a fun read, particularly close to Halloween. The artwork is very spooky and ethereal with lots of watercolors and lots of blues, blacks, and oranges. Seeing the original sketches at the back was also neat.

The wording is pretty much all taken from the original story, though this is not word-for-word the whole story. The selected parts and accompanying illustrations set up a nice flow and definitely give it the feeling of listening to a ghost story by the fire.

The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow por Washington Irving

Listened to the free Librivox recording, and the narrator was well suited to the story.

I've always meant to read this and I'm not sure what I was expecting to happen. I thought that perhaps the headless horseman appeared more often, but this was pitched just right. In Sleepy Hollow, not long after the War of Independance, when many lives were lost, ghost stories have been built up around what happened.

Ichibod Crane, the school teacher, has been courting one of the local women, much to the dismay of others who would like to also court her. He has become aware of the local war stories - both the British and the Americans can past nearby - and these stories are repeated at a local party thrown by the father of his beau. Once the party finishes, he stays behind to talk to the girl but gets turfed out with a flea in his ear not long after - Irving not going into detail. He has to ride his horse through the haunted area, only to be chased by the headless horseman.

Crane is never to be seen again, and rumours abound for a while about what happened and whether he is still alive

Good haunting story, and well suited for a reading on a dark and stormy night.....… (más)

Sight Unseen por Robert Tinnell

This did absolutely nothing for me. The story was farfetched and nonsensical. The art was, quite frankly, awful. The frequent spelling mistakes were annoying.

Nothing to see here, folks. There's FAR superior horror out there.

The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow por Washington Irving

Maybe it's because I love Tim Burton's movie version (with Johnny Depp), but I didn't find this book nearly as scary or frightening as I'd hoped. Not a page-turner at all.
