ABOUT

The party ended with a slash.

A series of tragedies have spread throughout the fashion world, but those in power have been quick to cover them up, leaving Lena and her fellow models to do whatever they can to survive. While Lena tries to run from the disaster, Ivy finds that it’s not so easy. The powerful figures in her industry are hell-bent on profiting off the models—trapping Ivy in this dazzling world that’s set on turning her into another statistic. Is there anyone she can trust? Or will Ivy be trapped in this gilded cage with the Entity on a killing spree?

The modeling industry is full of monsters, not all of them supernatural.

Continue the horrifying journey into glamorous madness with Smile: For the Camera #3, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery), as the Entity reveals the darkness hiding under the blinding lights.

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.
