Peepland

Description

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
