From Booklist
Part of the Graphic Planet umbrella series, this Graphic Horror entry is an entertaining and faithful, if much adapted version of Irving’s classic story. Zornow’s illustrations are the highlight of the work, successfully bringing the characters of the story to life, especially the ridiculous Ichabod Crane and the terrifying Headless Horseman. Although his panels are uninspired rectangles, Zornow’s layout is artistic, and the coloring, by Lynx Studios, is very attractive. The text is not easy to read. Most of the words are in text boxes (there are just a few speech bubbles), and the type size is small. What’s more, the brief glossary doesn’t cover much. Although serious graphic novel readers will probably pass this by,  patient readers, especially those unacquainted with the original story, may find themselves drawn in by the mix of fun and horror Zornow has created in his pictures. Grades 5-7. --Snow Wildsmith

Customer Reviews

The Legend of Jeff Zornow.
This book was a creative and vibrant retelling of Washington Irving's tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." Illustrator Jeff Zornow applies his dynamic and often creepy imagery to a classic for children. Zornow captures the autumn landscape of upstate New York that inspired Irving long ago beautifully is this book so that the imagery alone tells the tale. The reader follows charismatic Ichabod Crane through his time at the village of Sleepy Hollow. Ethereal specters, jealous townsmen, the fair maiden, the rest is history all captured in a short story. Who can ask for more? Perfect for ghost story lovers and Zornow junkies.
