On Wednesday, March 15th, 2023 Comics and music collide in Skottie Young’s I Hate Fairyland #5 with a new song from Raleigh, NC roots-rockers Jack the Radio. The song “This World” will be used as a companion piece to I Hate Fairyland issue #5 published by Image Comics and drawn by Brett Bean. The first page of the comic book includes a QR code to stream the song and calls for readers to scan before reading and “…rock out as you follow along with Gert doing Gert stuff… .”
“I was instantly in when Skottie first shared his idea to create a song that would be woven throughout the issue,” says singer George Hage. “It’s my two favorite mediums coming together to create a unique and enhanced experience.”
