Reviewers and readers alike are praising Greenlandic comic book "The First Steps", a dramatisation of the nation's prehistory.

Author and illustrator Nuka Godtfredsen was on hand to sign copies of the book during the weekend at Denmark's largest book exposition.

The book, which depicts the life of the first people to settle Greenland over 4,000 years ago, has been published in Greenlandic and Danish. An English version as well as a translation to Inuit dialect Inuktitut are also on the way.

The 67 people buying signed copies of the book during the three-day fair spent time discussing the positive reviews of the comic book that had appeared in the Danish press.

Godtfredsen said a sequel titled 'Ukaliatsiaq', the name of its main character, is already in the works.
