Hilda and her mother live in a cottage in the middle of an empty valley - or at least they think it's empty. They begin receiving tiny letters from elves who say that the valley is theirs, so Hilda takes it upon herself to seek them out and find a solution to their co-existence. Oh, and there's a giant that only comes out at night and only Hilda can see.
Luke Pearson goes all Miyazaki in this kids story with lots of fantastical creatures and quests with a little girl as hero. It's a charming and pleasant read, aimed at people much younger than myself (I'd say around 7/8 years old), and much less morose than his last book "Everything We Miss" which was definitely not a kids book. That said, the book plays along similar lines about the details in our lives that we don't see for whatever reason, and there is an interesting idea in this book about world perspective with the tiny elves, the large Hilda, and the even larger Giant who makes Hilda look tiny as the examples.
Well written and drawn in a style that reminded me of Chris Ware/Ivan Brunetti, though not nearly as complex as either, "Hilda and the Midnight Giant" is a great kids comic from a talented young artist whose work shows all the signs of bigger and better projects in the future.

Hilda and the Midnight Giant can be best described as a sweet fairytale that both children and adults alike will enjoy. The graphic novel is a followup to Pearson's debut Hildafolk and focuses on Hilda's discovery of a hidden miniature world, as well as an elusive giant. There is a plot to follow and the characters will make you smile - Hilda in particular is extremely affable.
The actual artwork is wonderful, and the novel is printed on the usual high-quality paper that is associated with Nobrow publications. The hardcover will make sure this Hilda story will stay intact on your bookshelf for years to come. My only criticism is at 40 pages, it is quite short. I think Pearson has the talent to pull off a length masterpiece when he does decide to create a larger graphic novel. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hilda and the Midnight Giant to anyone who enjoys creative, sweet stories.
