Luke Pearson & George O'Connor discuss Hildafolk

Описание: Celebrated British cartoonist Luke Pearson talks with with author and illustrator George O'Connor about the Hildafolk series, including the latest, Hilda and the Black Hound.

Luke Pearson has gained wide acclaim for his striking illustrations and complex, multivalent comics. His Hildafolk series contains Luke's signature blend of exuberant visuals and dark, whimsical stories. To celebrate the release of the latest Hildafolk book, Luke will chat about his work and sign copies of Hilda and The Black Hound for fans in our rare book room. This fourth book in the series chronicles the adventurous Hilda and her companion Twig (a blue fox with antlers) in their encounters with the Nisse, creatures who live in a mirror world "where the rules of physics don't quite match up." Luke's work has been praised as "glorious, exciting if also rather menacing" by the New York Times. Of the series, Slate has said "It's hard to imagine a better all-ages comic."

Luke is joined for the evening by George O'Connor, author and illustrator of the New York Times best-seller Kapow! and the graphic novels Journey Into Mohawk Country and the Omlypians series.
