Publisher: Image Comics | Series: I Hate Fairyland | Issue: #50 | Cover: F – Jonathan Wayshak Variant | MSP: $3.99
The I Hate Fairyland #50 variant cover celebration reaches new heights with Cover F by the ferociously talented Jonathan Wayshak. Known for his intensely detailed, visceral linework and a style that crackles with raw energy, Wayshak is one of the most distinctive voices in underground and indie comics — and his take on Gert's blood-soaked Fairyland odyssey is exactly as unhinged and spectacular as you'd hope.
If the other five covers celebrate I Hate Fairyland's milestone with charm and style, Cover F by Jonathan Wayshak celebrates it with pure, unbridled intensity. His hyper-detailed, almost hallucinatory approach to illustration makes this variant the one that stops you cold in the new release rack — the kind of cover that demands a second look and rewards every one of them. A must for serious collectors and Wayshak devotees alike.
🍀 Fun Fact: Jonathan Wayshak is one of the few modern comic artists whose work is regularly compared to underground comix legends like Richard Corben and Wally Wood — high praise in a medium with a century of history. Getting him on a I Hate Fairyland variant is a genuine coup for the series.
CVR (Cover)CVR A: The Standard Edition. This is the primary artwork found in most retail shops.
CVR B (and beyond): The Variant Edition. "B" is the first alternative cover, followed by C, D, and so on. These are often produced in smaller quantities than Cover A.
VAR (Variant)Definition: Short for Variant.Purpose: A general label confirming the book is an alternative cover option rather than the standard retail edition. These are often used to showcase guest artists or celebrate special milestones.
