Smile: For the Camera #1 from IDW Publishing expands the terrifying world of the Smile film franchise into comics — and it absolutely delivers.
Set during Fashion Month 2005 in New York City, this psychological horror story follows five young models whose glamorous lives begin to unravel when one becomes afflicted by the sinister smiling entity made famous in the 2022 film Smile by Parker Finn.
Written by Hannah Rose May with art by Miriana Puglia, this issue captures the tension, paranoia, and escalating dread that made the films so effective — while adding stylish new characters and a high-fashion backdrop.
