More Spooky Legends in the Next Chapter of the YA Queer Graphic Novel Series Hollow

Posted on February 22, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

The wait is finally over! The story of Hollow continues from the New York Times bestselling writer Shannon Watters, co-writer Branden Boyer-White, and fan-favorite artist Berenice Nelle in Hollow: The Woman in White.

It’s been a quiet, perfect winter so far in the town of Sleepy Hollow. Izzy and Vicky’s relationship is amazing… except for some disastrous dates, which don’t mean anything…right? (Right?!) And best friends Croc and Leon are rock-solid, trying to make a hit out of their new ghost-hunting web series…until jealousy springs up and threatens to ruin things with Croc’s girlfriend Marjorie (and maybe things between him and Leon, too–if only Croc would notice).

Then, in a string of spooky events, Leon vanishes near Raven Rock, a spot made famous by hundreds of years of sinister legends. Luckily, the friends have a history of solving supernatural riddles, and help from their own ghostly ally–the Headless Horseman of the Hollow himself!

But the longer Leon is missing, the more dire things seem. And the deeper the friends get into the mystery of Raven Rock’s most famous ghost, the Woman in White, the more they realize they may be up against a force none of them are able to defeat…

Hollow: The Woman in White features cover art by acclaimed artist Naomi Franquiz and will be available in comic shops July 30, 2025 and in bookstores August 5, 2025.
