Texeira and Saltares artwork on this series, is magnificent. I a huge fan of both artists, actually, but the 2 of them together, is just perfection. This particular story takes place in a small town called Sleepy Hollow, Illinois. It appears that every Halloween they get a grave that's desecrated. But this year, they have 3 murders to go along with it. So far. All the witness' say is that they see a flash of light, they hear some kind of sound, and then the victim is struck down. Their heads are chopped off. After the first one, some golfers find Johnny Blaze, although they don't know his name, sleeping in some of the trees around the course. This is already suspicious enough, but he also has blood covering him. The Sheriff comes in to rough him up a little bit, quite a bit actually, the first victim was a friend of the family, but Johnny will only take so much. He turns in to the Ghost Rider to warn him to back off. The Sheriff then wakes up in the hospital. While he was out, the other 2 murders occurred. There were lots of witness', but their suspect because they all talk about a man with a flaming head. We then see a house where the Levins live. The mother and father are tied up to the kitchen chairs. It looks like the father is dead. The son, Stevie, is in the front room watching TV, and as he turns around to talk to his parents, we see that he has a flaming pumpkin for a skull. I don't really know yet what this has to do with Lucifer, but I'm sure we'll find out next issue. But overall, a very cool book.
