Peepshow

Joe Matt’s Peepshow, published by Drawn & Quarterly from 1992 to 2006, is a brutally honest and often uncomfortable autobiographical comic that chronicles the artist’s own life with unflinching self-deprecation. Over its 14-issue run, Matt turned his obsessive-compulsive habits, failed relationships, and creative paralysis into a landmark of confessional cartooning, making him a key figure in the alternative comics scene of the era. The series stands as a raw, funny, and painfully human document of one man’s inability to get out of his own way.
