I Hate Fairyland #3

This French-language edition from Urban Comics collects the third volume of Skottie Young's gleefully unhinged series, and the cover perfectly captures its twisted charm — green-haired Gertrude beams with arms wide open, surrounded by an absurdly cheerful mob of teddy bears, heart-eyed creatures, tiny turtles, and a dinosaur, all set against a pastel rainbow backdrop that's just a little too bright. The deliberate contrast between the saccharine Fairyland aesthetic and the splatter of red lurking at the edges tells you everything you need to know about the tone. If you've been looking for a comic that plays fairy-tale cuteness completely straight while winking at you the whole time, La Ballade de l'Amère Sucette delivers that in spades.
