Corpse Knight #1 (of 6) – Cover I: Stipan Morian I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant (Mature Readers)
Gothic darkness meets anarchic fairytale madness in the most unexpected debut variant of the year. Corpse Knight #1 launches its six-issue Mature Readers limited series with this wildly inventive Cover I I Hate Fairyland Team-Up Variant by the supremely talented Stipan Morian — whose rich, atmospheric artwork collides the brooding, gothic world of Corpse Knight with the candy-colored, ultra-violent chaos of Skottie Young’s beloved I Hate Fairyland. The tonal contrast is electric, the execution is stunning, and the result is one of the most visually arresting debut variants in recent memory.
Whether you’re getting in on the ground floor of Corpse Knight, an I Hate Fairyland completist, or a Stipan Morian collector who knows the quality of his work, Cover I of issue #1 is the variant that proves great comics can be both deeply dark and gloriously unhinged at the same time.
