If you’ve been listening recently you’ll know that I’ll be running the Nobrow table at Thoughtbubble in Leeds this year. We’ll be situated at Table 28 in the grand Victoria Hall.
My first full outing for this company coincides with their first television outing of that adventurous kid Hilda on Netflix. For anyone who went to the East London Comic and Art Festival last June or has been to the screening events Flying Eye, Netflix and Nobrow have been running will know one thousand percent that this is a great cartoon that will capture you and sweep you along with a big grin.
Created with total love and skill by Luke Pearson this is a story of Hilda and her dog Twig. They live in a country full of supernatural and often dangerous creatures. But Hilda doesn’t mind, she loves to run and scramble and explore her world. There’s seemingly nothing that this young girl cant take in her stride. You marvel at her enthusiasm and fearless escapades. You also worry for her, will she come out the other side unscathed?
Not only will your kids love this series but you will too. It is a comic (and now a cartoon series) that has melted the heart of even this grumpy old comic fan. A total solution to all the toxic troubles of the modern world. This is pure and fun and totally extraordinary.
This cartoon magically translates all the hallmarks of the comic onto the screen. It is due to launch in the days before Thoughtbubble (22nd - 23rd September) and I fully expect there to be a dash to our table to get the books. So I thought it might be handy to have a list of what you’ll need.
Here’s the running order.
Hildafolk - now released as Hilda and the Troll.
Hilda and the Midnight Giant.
Hilda and the Bird Parade.
Hilda and the Black Hound.
Hilda and the Stone Forest.
Just because we love Thoughtbubble we’ll be selling the graphic novel series at £7 each rather than the usual price of £7.99.
But believe me when I say that you need to get in early. I’ll also be taking preorders for the Con attendees so let me know at Tony.awesomecomicspod@gmail.com or find me and DM me on Twitter @Ezohyez
Addicted yet? Then you might want to try this newly released novel that ties into the comic series and the new Netflix cartoon.
Hilda an the Hidden People is written by Stephen Davies using the ideas, tone, fun and characters of the original series and is well worth £9.99.
Here’s what the Nobrow site says about this new release.
‘Based on Luke Pearson’s award-winning Hildafolk graphic novels, the magical and mysterious world of Hilda continues in a new fiction series written by Stephen Davies. Catch the new Hilda series, coming soon to Netflix!
Join our beloved heroine as she encounters her very first troll, negotiates peace with some very persnickety elves, and reunites two lovelorn ancient giants. Fantastic creatures and daring adventures are all just part of another average day for Hilda… but what will she do if she is forced to move to Trolberg city, far away from her beloved valley home?’
