Hilo
In the Hilo series, adventure begins when an unlikely hero crashes to Earth. Hilo, a boy with no memory of his origins, isn’t just an ordinary kid—he’s the key to unraveling a world of strange mysteries and unexpected dangers. As he teams up with his best friends, DJ and Gina, the trio embarks on a journey that blends the whimsical with the perilous. What starts as a simple quest for answers quickly spirals into a cosmic adventure, where friendship, bravery, and the search for identity take center stage.
The Hilo series stands out in the realm of graphic novels by striking a unique balance between humor and depth. While the world-building is rich with aliens, robots, and otherworldly forces, the heart of the story remains grounded in the bonds between Hilo and his friends. Through vibrant illustrations and fast-paced storytelling, Judd Winick brings readers into a universe that’s as emotionally resonant as it is visually captivating.
Hilo consists of eleven books — series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
