WRITTEN BY STEVEN T. SEAGLE; ART AND COVER BY KELLEY JONES AND JASON MOORE; BASED ON THE STORY "THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW" WRITTEN BY WASHINGTON IRVING AND THE FILM STORY BY ANDREW KEVIN WALKER AND KEVIN YAGHER WITH A SCREENPLAY BY YAGHER.

One of the most anticipated films of the year is Paramount Pictures' Sleepy Hollow, a moody, atmospheric masterpiece from director Tim Burton (Batman, Beetlejuice). With an all-star cast headed by Johnny Depp and Christina Ricci, Sleepy Hollow features Burton's trademark brilliant visual sequences and offbeat characters, wrapped around a supernatural mystery. Sleepy Hollow is based on the original story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" written by Washington Irving and the film story by Andrew Kevin Walker (Seven) and Kevin Yagher with a screenplay by Yagher.

Now writer Steven T. Seagle (HOUSE OF SECRETS, Uncanny X-Men), is joined by artists Kelley Jones (BATMAN, THE SANDMAN) and Jason Moore (The Incredible Hulk) in the SLEEPY HOLLOW Movie Adaptation, a Prestige Format VERTIGO one-shot timed to coincide with the release of the movie.

It is 1799, the eve of a new century. In New York City, young Constable Ichabod Crane is eager to use the latest scientific methods and his powers of deduction to solve the most brutal of crimes. But nothing can prepare him for the shocking murders that take him far from the city's cobblestones to the eerie town of Sleepy Hollow. Awaiting him are three beheaded bodies, all apparently victims of a legendary Headless Horseman returned from the grave to exact revenge. With the help of an orphaned child and a beautiful young woman, Ichabod uses reason to confront the horrors of the unexplained. But the reality of Sleepy Hollow's waking nightmare is always before him. A reality where witches cast spells in the darkened woods...trees bleed...and a demon rides at night.

Sliders, one of the most unique and imaginative TV series in recent years, is headed back to the Fox Network as a mid-season replacement, and will make its debut in comic stores as Acclaim/Armada's latest action series! Chronicling the travels of four dynamic characters who "slide" to parallel dimensions of Earth, the comics will follow Quinn Mallory, Prof. Arturo, Sabrina and Rembrandt as they explore Earth 1995 as it would be if a different path had been taken either personally or historically. The Sliders miniseries will be unique in that Armada has been granted access to spectacular concepts and vicious, ongoing villains deemed unsuitable for the TV show because of budget restrictions. These will be "Slides" reflecting the continuity of the series, but only available through the comics -- making them indispensable to any fan of the TV show! Script by D.G. Chichester, with art by Dick Giordano and Mike DeCarlo. Cover by Dennis Calero. FC, 32 pgs. Cover price $2.50.

#1 Narcotica. By special arrangement with MCA/Universal, actor Jerry O'Connell has written this extra special issue from Acclaim Comics! O'Connell, of course, stars as Quinn Mallory, the inventor of the parallel world-jumping "Slider" technology on the super-hot Fox TV series, Sliders! Based on an episode treatment of O'Connell's deemed "too dark for prime time," the Sliders arrive on an alternate Earth where, in order to avoid political ruination, J. Edgar Hoover moved to legalize drug use in the United States! Now, in 1996, Timothy Leary leads a Grunge movement against steroid pumped Narc Squads in a vainglorious effort to halt the narcotization of a nation! Naturally, Quinn Mallory, Professor Arturo, Rembrandt and Wade get caught up in the action! But where drugs come into play, even the noblest of heroes can find their limitations. Written by Jerry O'Connell, with art by Jackson Guice, Dennis Calero, Mike DeCarlo and Carlos Montanez. FC, 48 pgs. Cover price $3.95.

#2 Blood and Splendor. Once in a while, a pivotal concept or teleplay will cross the desk of Sliders co-creator Tracy Torme that's quite simply too wild and too expensive to produce for the Fox TV series. Careening from one parallel Earth to the next, our Sliders find themselves in a world where Native Americans thwarted all of Western Europe's attempts to colonize and conquer. The European white minority is relegated to slavery, and the country is one nation under Huizlopochtl, the merciless Aztec god of war! One Aztec nobleman, Montezuma IV, has been given a vision from Huizlopochtl, that he is to be his "right hand" on this world, conquering in his name. All Montezuma needs, is a sign. Well, how about one of our heroes' quantum tunnels?! Will Quinn Mallory wind up on the sacrificial altar? And if that ain't enough, there's something new, very big and very hungry moving through the quantum tunnels -- and it eats Sliders! Written by Tracy Torme, Jeof Vita and Jeff Somers. Art by Rags Morales, Dean Zachary, Barbara Kaalberg and Gonzalo Mayo. FC, 48 pgs. Cover price $3.95.

#3 Deadly Secrets. Written in tandem with the TV series' co-creators Tracy Torme and Robert K. Weiss, this issue ties directly into some of the most intriguing elements to be explored this coming season. Wade Wells comes into her own as a heroine of the highest caliber, when a terrible secret between Quinn Mallory and Professor Arturo threatens to break up our quantum quartet. This secret will be a powerful running subplot for the first ten episodes of the new season, making for a startling (and permanent) revelation about one of the Sliders in November. Also appearing in this issue is Conrad Bennis, Jr., the cute but crazy grunge genius whose appearances in the TV series always spike the ratings. Script by D.G. Chichester, with art by Dean Zachary and Sam de la Rosa. FC, 48 pgs. Cover price $3.95.

"Slovenly Peter, or, Cheerful Stories and Funny Pictures, For Good Little People" by Heinrich Hoffman. Published at least during 1901-1940 by the John C. Winston Company, partial color reprints of the original 1880 Porter & Coates edition. These illustrated children's stories, translated from the German, may have been "cheerful" and "funny" in late 19th century Germany, but today they scare the living cheese out of us! Reel in mortal terror as Cruel Frederick tortures insects, kittens, and his nurse, and pitiful Pauline accidentally sets herself on fire and turns to dust! Cringe in disgust as Conrad the chronic thumb-sucker gets his digits forcibly removed by the great, long, red-legged scissor-man, and the Cry-Baby quite literally cries her eyes out! Gag yourself with a spoon as Cruel Paul the beast-torturer gets mauled alive by a gaggle of God's creatures, and Mary the Little Glutton gets a face full of bees! Plus so much more. As an interesting side-note, the story of the scissor-man was much later used by Grant Morrison in his first Doom Patrol (1987 2nd series) arc, "Crawling From the Wreckage." 8" x 10", hardcover, 105 pages (includes covers).
