Smile: For the Camera

Illustrated by Miriana Puglia
Jump back into the Smile universe in this terrifying prequel as five models are hunted down by the Entity!

Pose. Couture. Gore.  

It’s Fashion Month 2005. Five young international models have just landed in New York City, ready to tackle four grueling weeks of runways, press, and cameras as they try to make it big. The girls become fast friends…until one by one, they seem to crack under the pressure. Little does everyone know that they are now possessed by the Entity, a being bent on destruction and pain as it seeks to destroy lives through the horrific visions its victims suffer. But this isn’t the only parasite they need to worry about, as predatory agents, photographers, and managers all try to take a bite.

Dive into this all new story of betrayal and reality distortion based on the blockbuster Smile film franchise from Parker Finn, brought to you by horror star Hannah Rose May (The Exorcism at 1600 Penn, Rogues’ Gallery) and Miriana Puglia (Disney Villains: Cruella de Vil, Disney Villains: Maleficent), as we follow these models’ glamorous, gory descent into insanity.

Get ready to smile like you mean it.

Hannah Rose May is an Irish writer who can usually be found sunburnt in Los Angeles. She made her comic book debut with Rogues’ Gallery for Image Comics, which quickly earned her industry acclaim. Since then, she’s written for major comic IPs like Harley Quinn (DC) and Star Trek: Lower Decks (IDW). Her grandmother insists she’s “as mad as a box of frogs,” and honestly, she’s not arguing.
