Chopper is a horror comic book mini-series written by Martin Shapiro, illustrated by Juan Ferreyra (who was later replaced by Cliff Richards from issue #3 onward), and published by Asylum Press in 2011.[1][2]
The series is a modern-day reimagining of the headless horseman from "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" that takes place in Daytona Beach, Florida during Bike Week.
Plot
In the story, a police officer's rebellious teenage daughter takes a strange new ecstasy-like drug at a party that causes her to see ghosts – and one of them is a headless Hell’s Angel on a motorcycle who collects the souls of sinners in the afterlife and he wants her tainted soul.
Chopper has elements of the movies A Nightmare on Elm Street and Candyman. Instead of being killed in your dreams, you’re vulnerable while you’re high on the supernatural drug.
Adaptations
Web Series
As part of an ambitious transmedia launch strategy, a prequel to the main Chopper storyline was produced as a web TV series[3] starring actors Tyler Mane (Halloween, X-Men) and Andrew Bryniarski (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Batman Returns).[4]
Films
A film adaptation of the comic book is in the works. The screenplay was written by Martin Shapiro.[5][6]
