I Hate Fairyland #48
Description
In this issue of the ongoing I Hate Fairyland, writer Skottie Young and artist Derek Laufman push the series’ mix of brutal humor and surreal fantasy to new extremes. A monster-making experiment spirals out of control, sending Gert and her sidekick Larry into a bizarre new form. The two become a fly-hybrid creature—the Gertlefly—and the misadventure unfolds with the same punchy pace, punchlines, and gleeful gross-out moments that fans crave. The story, presented in 32 pages with vivid color, leans into the comic’s trademark blend of dark imagination and cheeky subversion of fairy-tale tropes. Cover variants showcase Laufman’s expressive art and Young’s sharp humor, making this a standout entry in the title’s wild run. It remains accessible to new readers while rewarding longtime fans with its wry meta commentary and fearless visuals.
