"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. -
