Keyhole (comics)

Keyhole was a critically acclaimed black-and-white alternative comic book published from 1996–1998. A two-man anthology by cartoonists Dean Haspiel and Josh Neufeld, Keyhole was published by two different publishers, starting with Millennium Publications and ending up at Top Shelf Productions.

Publication history

Keyhole began as a self-published mini-comic by the long-time friends Haspiel and Neufeld.Keyhole Mini-Comics ran for four issues in 1995. Reviewed in Factsheet Five, Comics Buyer's Guide, and elsewhere, it was then picked up by Millennium, which published the first full-sized issue in June 1996. With its fourth issue, Keyhole was released under Millennium's new imprint, Modern Comics. Top Shelf picked up the comic for its fifth and sixth issues.

In 2002, Haspiel, Neufeld, and Alternative Comics announced plans to publish Keyhole vol. II, but the comic never appeared, and the two cartoonists have since moved on to other projects.

Form and content

Equally inspired by Harvey Pekar's American Splendor and Los Bros Hernandez' Love and Rockets, a typical issue of Keyhole featured an autobiographical travel story by Neufeld, a Billy Dogma story by Haspiel, and short recurring features such as R. Walker and Neufeld's "Titans of Finance," Neufeld's one-page "Travel Tips," and the Haspiel/Neufeld collaborative feature "Lionel's Lament." Other stories appearing in Keyhole included short autobiographical pieces by Haspiel, and assorted collaborations with other writers (including one memorable piece with The Duplex Planet's David Greenberger).
