Hilda and the Midnight Giant

[himalayan_pink]

Hi all,

First time poster here. I've come across a charming British children's comic called Hilda and The Midnight Giant and felt like sharing a little bit. (here's hoping I'm doing this HTML thing right.)






Besides having a cute storyline about a girl facing a hord of invisible elves--elves trying to evict her and her mother from their family home--the comic has some great art.

I see no images, so you may not have the HTML thing in order yet...

Used a different image hosting site. Can you see them now?

Wow, that's incredible. I'd love to find a copy of that.

Edited to add: Ooh! The books are on Amazon and my birthday is on Monday...well you don't have to hit me on the head...

It is a beautifully printed book too (heck, its printing quality is why I picked it up in the first place). You won't be disappointed.

Happy early birthday!

Also, I really like the art for this posting, especially the reaction shot about the tea. So cute!

I'm getting a bit of a Moomin vibe out of this. Maybe it's just that she has Little Myy's nose, though.

Umm, anyways, looks nice.

Welcome, and what a great choice for your first post.

Loving the look of this, as cainofdreaming noted, it has a rather Moomin Valley feel to it, which is no bad thing.

This looks just lovely, the little tree person and his tea is my favourite.
