Hilda is an absolute corker of a British series, by Luke Pearson, set in a modern-mythic Scandinavia. I’ve previously touched on it here, but was recently (and pleasantly) reminded, just now.
Specifically, these pages come from book four, Hilda and the Black Hound.
“We’re not invisible.” (what a friggin’ line)
From my POV (i.e. my perspective), it’s dang-ol’ rare to the point of vanishing that a series is magnificently simple & loverly on the surface, yet packed to the nines with excellent meaning and curiosity. Honestly, I’m not quite sure I’ve ever seen the like before across comics.
“Check it out if you can”
(that’s my little whisper mode, hehe)
Hilda is SO good.
I really like the animated series. Carries over really well!
Also has a great song that only pops up once during the show - My Name is Hilda
Oh wowsers, that’s adorable.
10/10 highly recommend
Hilda is a certified classic. The show is also really high quality.
I love these colours! They are so smooth…
House spirits have a special place in my heart, but I don’t see them used in stories much. I just read a very low quality scan online, and now I’ll be buying a copy, it’s great. Thanks for posting it!
Hilda and the Time Worm is the only one I’ve seen (and bought for the kids). Will need to look for more.
Jeff Smith’s Bone hits some similar notes but Hilda really is special.
