Sleeping Beauties # 5 (IDW Comics 2020)

Sleeping Beauties #5 (IDW Publishing)

The mystery of the Aurora virus deepens as the world teeters on the edge of collapse.

The haunting adaptation of the bestselling novel by Stephen King and Owen King continues. In this fifth installment, the global phenomenon known as "Aurora" has claimed nearly every woman on Earth, cocooning them in a mysterious, gauzy shroud. While the women have transported to a strange, peaceful new world, the men left behind are succumbing to their most primal and violent instincts.

In this issue, the tension at Dooling personal correctional facility reaches a fever pitch. At the center of the storm is Evie Black—the only woman who remains awake and immune to the sleeping sickness. Is she a miracle, a demon, or something else entirely? As factions form and tempers flare, the survival of the town—and perhaps humanity—hangs in the balance.

Issue Highlights:

• Creative Team: Expertly adapted by writer Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl) with atmospheric and evocative art by Alison Sampson (Hit-Girl).

• The Story: A chilling exploration of gender dynamics and societal collapse, staying faithful to the epic scope of the original King collaboration.

• Visuals: Features hauntingly beautiful covers and interior panels that capture the surreal nature of the cocoons and the gritty reality of a world gone mad.

• Format: Full Color | IDW Publishing.
