With Luke Pearson, Peter Hogan, Posy Simmonds and Ivanka Hahnenberger
What really happens when graphic novels make the transition from page to screen? Ivanka Hahnenberger invites three British creatives to share their experiences of originating popular comics, which have gone on to become hit television series.
Luke Pearson’s first Hilda graphic novel, Hildafolk, was released in 2010 and reissued in 2013 as Hilda and the Troll. The award-winning series now comprises six books which have found a place in the hearts of readers all around the world. Between 2018 and 2023 the books were adapted into a BAFTA and Emmy award-winning Netflix series directed by Andy Coyle, with Hilda voiced by Bella Ramsey. This November Hilda will return in the first of a brand-new comic series for younger readers, Hilda and Twig: Hide from the Rain.
Since 2012 writer Peter Hogan and illustrator Steve Parkhouse have been collaborating on their down-to-earth science-fiction comic book Resident Alien 2012- for Dark Horse USA. In 2021, the Syfy channel premiered a live-action television version, whose third season concludes this April.
Posy Simmonds is a press cartoonist, long associated with The Guardian, a children’s book author and graphic novelist. Her first book for kids, Fred, was animated as Famous Fred and nominated for an Oscar. Her graphic novels Gemma Bovery and Tamara Drewe were adapted into movies, both starring Gemma Arterton, directed by Anne Fontaine and Stephen Frears.
All guests will be signing their books after the panel discussion.
