I Hate Fairyland #1
This debut volume of the madcap fantasy series introduces Gertrude, a forty-something woman trapped in a magical fairyland for nearly thirty years. Tired of the saccharine nonsense and endless quests, she decides the only way home is to hack, slash, and murder her way through the candy-colored kingdom. Collects I Hate Fairyland #1-5, written and illustrated by Skottie Young, with a gleefully violent and irreverent tone that parodies classic children's fantasy tropes.
In "One," Skottie Young launches a surreal, melancholic journey with Gert, a girl who was brought to Fairyland as a child to complete a mysterious task—and has been trapped there ever since, now grown and thoroughly unimpressed. With Young handling every aspect of the interior art and inks, and Jean-Francois Beaulieu’s vivid colors bringing the dreamlike world to life, the story unfolds with a wistful, off-kilter charm. The cover, also by Young, captures the offbeat tone with its whimsical yet weary depiction of Gert in her endless quest.
