Sink into this sinful semi-autobiographical neo-noir crime comic with a punk rock edge!
A high-octane crime yarn set in the seedy Times Square peep booths of 1980s New York
When a chance encounter for Peepbooth worker Roxy Bell leads to the brutal murder of a public access pornographer, the erotic performer and her punk rock ex-partner Nick Zero soon find themselves under fire from criminals, cops, and the city elite, as they begin to untangle a complex web of corruption leading right to city hall.
"A compelling crime story....sharp and crisp..." - First Comic News
"Peepland hooked me instantly" - Comic Bastards
"An interesting look at crime in the mid 1980s." - SciFi Pulse
"One of the most exciting, intriguing and explosive starts to a story this year!" - Reading with a Flight Ring
"...if you’re not familiar with noir, this is a great introduction to the genre. You’re in the hands of two master storytellers working in a genre they obviously love. And if you’re already a fan, sit back and enjoy the ride they’re going to take you on, with every dark and greasy twist it has in store for you." - Fanbase Press
"A comic with sleaze in its DNA... Camerini’s art being both visually appealing and provocative." - Medium
"Hard Case Crime may be the best new American publisher to appear in the last decade" Neal Pollack in The Stranger
All told, “Peepland” is a gritty, brilliantly conceived thriller told in a grand, colorful cinematic way. It is what good comics are all about and a fantastic bridge between them and New Pulp. We’re looking forward to future issues with enthusiastic anticipation. - Pulp fiction review
