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," praises First Comic News, while Comic Bastards notes "Peepland hooked me instantly." SciFi Pulse calls it "an interesting look at crime in the mid 1980s," and Fanbase Press celebrates it as "one of the most exciting, intriguing and explosive starts to a story this year!" The art is described by Medium as "visually appealing and provocative," perfectly matching the comic's sleazy DNA.
