Luke Pearson's 'Hilda' (or 'Hildafolk') series gets better and better with each subsequent comic. In 'Hilda and the Midnight Giant', there are, of course, giants, tiny little elves, woffs, nittens, and other majestic creatures living near the mountains - all with their own communities, rules, laws, histories and folklore.
That is just the beginning of the magic.You really do end up caring a lot for the young, exuberant, bucolic, idyllic, and brave adventurer Hilda, and her mum.
Funny, clever and charming, and enough for readers to desperately want to come back for more.
What a joy how good and popular this British fantasy/folktale comic and cartoon series is; and with a female protagonist, and for all ages and backgrounds.
Final Score: 4.5/5
