Hilda and the Troll
by Luke Pearson
The Hildafolk series begins with Hilda and the Troll, a simple, charming tale of plucky girl Hilda in a magical Scandinavian countryside. Luke Pearson's art immediately jumps out with an appealingly cute style, giving the world every bit of the whimsy Hilda herself is in search of. It's a joy to look at and will keep you returning just to look at it. Surprisingly, there's some gore in the form of an illustration within a book Hilda reads where a troll decapitates someone, and a giant says "Damn it" in one instance.
The plot isn't much: Hilda goes drawing rocks and encounters a troll and has to get home safely. It's cute enough. Hilda is a very appealing heroine though, a girl with an appetite for exploration and a trusty sketpad to draw the unusual sights she finds. Hilda's accompanied by an animal she names Twig, a small fox with antlers. She has a mother but the mother has very little role. A strange being called the Wood Man sometimes shows up, often barging into Hilda's home uninvited to lie on the floor and nothing they do can make him leave.
The book is unfortunately quite erased; there are no characters of color nor LGBT characters.
Hilda and the Troll is a very sweet story and it's no wonder Netflix made it into a TV series.
