I Hate Fairyland #4

Skottie Young's I Hate Fairyland continues its gleefully twisted take on fantasy with issue #4, and the cover says it all: a beaming, cloud-haired queen towers over a tiny skeletal pumpkin-headed figure dwarfed beneath her enormous blue gown, the whole scene bathed in rainbow rays and sparkles that make the macabre duo somehow even more unsettling. The contrast between the queen's delighted grin and the ghoulish little character at her feet perfectly captures the series' signature blend of sugary aesthetics and dark humor. With Skottie Young's art and Jean-François Beaulieu's vibrant colors turning every page into a candy-colored fever dream, this is one Fairyland visit you won't want to skip.
