    Early life[edit]

    Luke Pearson was born in Stockton-on-Tees, but grew up mainly in Tamworth. His father worked in IT and his mother was a solicitor's secretary. In their spare time, his father played and recorded music and his mother painted.[8]

    Career[edit]

    Bibliography[edit]

    His first comic was published in 2008 as part the anthology Ctrl.Alt.Shift Unmasks Corruption, edited by Paul Gravett. His first published drawing was in Bizarre magazine "of a little kid holding a knife with his mouth all stitched up".[8]

    In 2010, Nobrow Press published Hildafolk, the first of a series of graphic novels about a young girl's adventures in a world inspired by Scandinavian folklore.

    In 2018, Netflix released the first season of Hilda, a show based on the Hildafolk series.
