Luke Pearson is the creator of the Hilda comic book series. He was also a writer and co-executive producer of the BAFTA and Emmy award-winning animated series of the same name. Outside of his work on Hilda, Luke has been an illustrator, a storyboard artist and has drawn a range of other comics. In 2025, Hilda and Twig: Hide from the Rain became the first British comic to win the Eisner Award for Best Publication for Early Readers!⁠

"Pearson's charming prequel series to his popular Hildafolk stories follows a younger Hilda and her beloved deerfox, Twig. But in a delightful twist, it's Twig who has thrilling adventures with fantastical creatures. [...] As usual, Pearson's art is fantastic, with imaginative world building, lush colors, cinematic action, and lots of emotional expressiveness in his characters' body language and faces. Larger panel sizes and a simplified plot will make this particularly enjoyable for newly independent readers, and the gentle message about handling big emotions is nicely pitched to the target age group."
