Hildafolk #[nn]

In this charming 2010 issue of Hildafolk, written and illustrated by Luke Pearson, young Hilda sets out on a quiet walk with her sketchbook, drawn to a peculiar troll rock she discovers in the woods. After placing a bell on its nose to keep it still while she draws, she falls asleep—only to wake and find the troll very much alive, following her home with a jingle in tow. The cover by Luke Pearson captures the whimsical tension of the moment, as Hilda’s innocent sketching sets off a chain of events that leads to an unexpected encounter with Wood Man, who reveals the bell’s true effect.
