Hilda is utterly brilliant!"<br /><b>—Raina Telgemeier, creator of <i>Smile<br /></i></b><br />"Plain smart and moving. John Stanley's Little Lulu meets Miyazaki."<br /><b>—Guillermo Del Toro<br /></b><br />"Luke Pearson's <i>Hilda</i> stories are beloved in our house, and they will surely be enjoyed by audiences for many years to come."<br /> <b>—Kazu Kibuishi, creator of <i>Amulet</i></b><br /><br />"In <i>Hilda</i>, Luke Pearson has created a truly odd and amazingly beautiful world—Stunningly personal and original. I am in awe of his imagination. He is a real inspiration."<br /><b>—Mike Mignola, creator of <i>Hellboy</i></b><br /><br />"Pearson’s utter lack of pretension keeps Hilda feeling fresh, while his reading of folktales and Tove Jansson’s Moomin series embeds Hilda in the long history of children’s stories. […] Hilda’s dilemmas, while fantastic, also feel real […] Pearson has found a lovely new way to dramatize childhood demons, while also making you long for your own cruise down the fjords."<br /><b>—<i>The New Yorker</i></b><br /><br />"Hilda and the Troll tells the story of an artistic Scandinavian girl as she explores the unknown wilderness around her house, encountering a blue fox with antlers, the mysterious 'wood man,' and (you guessed it!) a troll. The art is as whimsical as the protagonist, and the bright colors enhance this comic book's magical-realistic effect." <br /><b>—<i>The Horn Book Review</i></b><br /><br />"A master of mood-enhancing colors, Pearson nudges the story from vivid to haunting at a pen-stroke, ending with a book that is vibrant delight with just an edge of spine-tingling danger. A really great story for ages six-and-up, and anyone else who thinks comics are best read with flashlights under the covers."<br /><b>—<i>Comics Alliance</i></b><br /><br />"Pearson is a rising star." <br /><i><b>—New Yorker</b></i>
