The Headless Horseman . . . now that's a scary dude . . . well at least he scared me when I was a kid. The version I know is probably the same as most people as the character from
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I first saw the story as a child in
Disney's animated version of the story it both scared and intrigued me. The basic story of the Headless Horseman is that the horseman was the ghost of a soldier who's head was shot off by a cannonball and in search of a new head he finds Ichabod Crane on his way home after Crane hears a tale about the Headless Horseman told by his competitor for a love interest "Brom Bones." A great chase is had by the horseman after Ichabod and he disappears with neither being seen again.

When I decided that I wanted to create comic books sometime in the early 2000's I decided that I would publish comics under the banner
Nervous Pumpkin Comics and the mascot is a version of the headless horseman named Ick E. Bod. This was a play on both of the main characters from the story and I think is a pretty unique name to publish under. If anything the logo is really fun.
In my drawing I decided to just go with the Headless Horseman and unfortunately leave out his black horse because I was trying to get this post out today and I was running short on time. The colors are a combination of
Prismacolor Markers and Copic Markers.
Watch your back and be sure your neck is attached the horseman is looking for you,
