Times Square is currently the squeaky clean, commercial tourist central spot that sucks Manhattan's soul. But only a few decades ago, it was better known for a different kind of sucking.

Peepland, the new comic book by Christa Faust, Gary Phillips and Andrea Camerini and published by Hard Case Crime and Titan Comics takes you back to a less innocent time. Here's a first look preview of Times Square, circa Watchmen.Peepland 1 Art Preview 1 Peepland 1 Art Preview 2 Peepland 1 Art Preview 3 Peepland 1 Art Preview 4

 

Times Square, 1986: the home of New York's red light district where strip clubs, porno theatres and petty crime prevails.

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.

Like The Naked City, there are eight million stories in The Deuce. This is one of them.

Out on October 12th.
