One Big Muffin' Fluffing Book!
I Hate Fairyland: The Whole Fluffing Tale is here!
What can I say about I Hate Fairyland that I haven’t said a million times over the last 10 years? It was my first creator owned book and it’s stilling going! (Okay, So I took a few years off, but you get what I’m saying!) We’re closing in on 40 issues between the original series and the relaunch in 2022! I couldn’t be more proud of this book, my team, all the wonderful creators that have contributed to the world, Image comics, retailers, readers, and if I may…myself. It takes a lot of work to keep an indie book afloat and I can’t thank you all enough for supporting a wacky title like I Hate Fairyland.
Ok, I’ve patted you and myself on the back enough, so what are we even doing here? I’m letting you know that I HATE FAIRYLAND: THE WHOLE FLUFFING TALE Compendium One is available wherever books are sold! This softcover edition collects my original run of I Hate Fairyland #1-20 and the I Hate Image FCBD Special. It’s over 560 pages. Or right at…or whatever. It’ a lot of pages. If you haven’t been taken away to Fairyland yet, this book is a great opportunity to dive in and get lost in Gert’s wacky adventures. If you’re already following along with her mayhem, then you’ll need to complete your collection of various IHF editions!
If you don’t live near a store or if you want a signed copy with a bonus book plate, we have some available in our online store at SkottieYoung.com You also get a bonus sick pack of 5 stickers!
Fun fact about the bookplate art. It’s the first published piece featuring Gert! I had just landed on her design and Jean got her signature colors down. I was attending Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle and was asked to contribute to the Monsters and Dames art book they publish and sell at the show. I figured it was fitting to debut my newborn lunatic! This is the linear for that piece.
That’s all I have for now. For those of you holding your breath out there for news on my TMNT cover…JUST TAKE ‘ER EASY! haha. We’re excited. You’re excited. The next newsletter will be all about some Turtles! See ya then.
I am excited for this as it’s a great series and tons of fun not to mention all of the great art. Congrats on this and the picture of you behind the books says it all.
So pumped it's here and looking absolutely gorgeous! Love how these books pop off the shelf with their color. Definitely my favorite yet I think! And the inclusion of the book plate with her first official look plus the stickers? I mean c'mon, it doesn't get better than that!
Beyond happy to have yet another complete collection of issues, TPB, HC, etc. when this arrives as it's such a fun and ridiculous series and I love it! Also love that you've been able to continue it with Brett on art now and we can keep up with the whacky world of Gert! Here's to many many more fluffin' years!
