Bache inking credit from Ger Apeldoorn/Atlas Tales. Features the headless horseman and locale from “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving (1820) (note by Tom Lammers). Letters: In the early days of Atlas/Marvel, Dick Ayers often lettered the stories he drew. Compare his credited lettering from a decade later (e.g. Two Gun Kid 64, "Trapped By Grizzly Grogan," 1963).
