"Sleepwalking" is a striking, self-contained story from 1971’s The Best from Playboy #5, a rare showcase of a single creator’s full artistic vision. Written and illustrated by Claude Smith, the tale follows a man haunted by insomnia who steps into a quiet, surreal moment when he spots a woman sleepwalking down his apartment hallway—prompting him to re-dress in pajamas and mimic her, blurring the line between wakefulness and dream.
