ABOUT
After the shocking tragedy that rocked SurFace Agency, Freja and her fellow models are whisked off to London Fashion Week, where the pressure to perform is as deadly as the secrets they’re keeping. As Freja’s nightmares begin bleeding into reality, Ivy lands her first big shoot with notorious photographer Perry Rickens—and discovers why his sets are feared as much as they’re coveted.
Under the blinding lights of fame, every smile hides something monstrous.
The horror behind the glamour deepens in Smile: For the Camera #2 in this terrifying new chapter by Hannah Rose May (Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery) as the Entity continues its gory crusade.
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
