Hilda

In the whimsical, folkloric world of Hilda, a curious young girl explores a landscape where trolls, giants, and magical creatures are part of everyday life. Launched in 2008 by an independent publisher, this four-issue series is most closely associated with the evocative, atmospheric art of Hanz Kovacq. It matters as a gentle, beautifully illustrated introduction to a beloved character, establishing the tone for her later adventures in other media.
