What started as a normal, everyday, child-sucked-into-a-magical-land-to-fulfill-an-inane-quest has changed Fairyland forever. In the continuation of SKOTTIE YOUNG''S saccharine fantasy-satire, Gertrude hands over the spotlight to Larry, Duncan Dragon, and some of Fairyland''s other supporting cast, misfits, and forgotten threats. Collects I HATE FAIRYLAND #16-20

The fourth arc of Gert''s fantasy feats ends as Dark Cloudia''s reign of terror begins and with it, an air of impermanence and uncertainty looms over Fairyland.

And now, another unequivocal issue of...GERT IN SPACE! When we last left our struggling starlet, Gertrude was stuck in an infinite fantasy hell-loop of her own making. Meanwhile, Fairyland favorites Larry and Duncan Dragon possess a desperate dream and await a demonic deliverable in their last-ditch effort to clear the skies of an imposing and oppressive darkness. Gertrude may not want to be the heroine Fairyland wants, but for at least one last time, she''s apparently stuck being the heroine they are obliged to deserve!

Find Duncan Dragon on a mission as he barges in on Larry, who is drinking heavily/finally settled down to pen his memoirs (apparently, someone asked...). Meanwhile, Horribella turns out to have resurrected a sinister bag of bones, They Who Shall Not Be Named, which is aggressively gathering power and has eyes on the entirety of Fairyland.

"HELL OF A TRIP" The fourth arc of I HATE FAIRYLAND challenges Gert like never before. Our disaffected heroine finds out her usual bag of tricks may not be enough to deal with what Hell has in store (i.e. eternal damnation, etc...) as her chance of ever making it home creeps closer to zero!

From SKOTTIE YOUNG, New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning cartoonist of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz graphic novels, Rocket Raccoon, and Fortunately, the Milk, comes a satirical fairytale adventure that smashes its cute little face against hilariously violent comedy thatÍs definitely NOT bedtime story material for the kiddies (unless your parents are super cool and donÍt screen your entertainment, then...whatever). In this oversized DELUXE HARDCOVER, join Gert (a grown woman in a six-year-old girl''s body, who has been stuck in a the magical world of Fairyland for over 30 years) on a maddening quest to return home. ItÍs just her, a fly named Larry, a giant blood-soaked battle-axe and an endless amount of cute and cuddly Fairylanders standing in her way. Collects I HATE FAIRYLAND #1-10, along with EXCLUSIVE EXTRAS!

Gert finally realizes that being such a murderous maniac might be the reason she''s not been able to find her way out of the candy-coated world of Fairyland that has been her nightmare for over 40 years. She sets off on a new quest to redeem herself and tries to earn her way back home with good deeds and kindness and love and whatever other mushy, touchy-feely things she can manage. The epic and hilarious fantasy quest from fan-favorite cartoonist SKOTTIE YOUNG continues. Collects I HATE FAIRYLAND #11-15

"I HATE IMAGE!" The Free Comic Book Day hit is back, with even more pages! Gertrude has been stuck in Fairyland for decades when she finally hears of a secret passage that may be her way back home.

This all-new special edition features four additional pages of story as Gert slices and dices her way through even more of your Image favorites, plus a behind the scenes look at Skottie''s script, layouts, and black and white artwork all wrapped in a brand-new cover!

The third installment of Gert''s adventures comes to a dramatic and possibly...happy end? Follow along as she enjoys her new-found goodness and finally finds what sheÕs been seeking for over 30 years.

"LOVE''S LABYRINTH" Gert meets a mysterious (aka super creepy) man who offers her the redemption she''s looking for if she can solve his treacherous maze. You don''t want to know what will happen if she fails! Wait scratch that. You do want to know. Buy the book to find out.

"LARRY''S LIFE" Find out what Larry''s life could have been like if he had never met Gert.

"LONE GERT AND GRUB" Gert''s tired of being a complete piece of sh!# and decides to be a helpful member of the Fairyland society, starting off with rescuing a kidnapped baby and returning it to its loving family. Gert. A baby. Probably some poop. Buy this.

The galaxy is bigger than ever in this giant-sized treasury edition - and this bunch is just the team to guard it! In the wake of two Annihilation events that rocked the Marvel Universe, Peter Quill, the Star-Lord, unites a ragtag group of misfits and loners to stand as its protectors.
