"If you want to see where auto-bio comics stand today, I strongly recommend
looking through ... Keyhole."
— Austin English, indy
"... Enlightening, educational, and often quite funny."
— Johanna Draper, Comics Worth Reading
"Produced by two lifelong friends whose experiences have formed them
into very different types of cartoonists and people, Keyhole is
a rare component of the American comix scene. Both in terms of its consistent
quality of execution and the subjects it covers, Keyhole is reminiscent
of magazines like Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, and Spiegleman's
and Griffith's fine underground anthology, Arcade.... Josh Neufeld's
cultural and class observations are enormously rare in the generally meaningfully
vacant world of comix subject matter.... Dean Haspiel is a natural cartoonist,
adept and lyrically athletic in his application of ink, drawing, and storytelling....
Brought together in a single, independent magazine, these artists' strong,
disparate talents create a broad reading experience, and a blending of
artistic intentions and personal expression like very few others available
today in American comix."
— Scott Gilbert, Comics Journal
"I would recommend this as a book to check out. It's definitely one of
the better new titles out there."
— Bridget Evans, Screw magazine
"Keyhole is the comic book equivalent of 'Saturday Night Live'
— back when people actually laughed at it.... Keyhole is a
head-on collision between American Splendor and Hate —
but rest assured that its eccentric appeal is no accident!"
— Cliff Biggers, Comic Shop News
"A good mix of insightfulness and off-the-wall humour, with solid artwork
throughout. How many American comics can say that? Pick these up."
— Bart Beaty, Comix @List
"Keyhole is one of the most solid indy anthologies out there....
An excellent and varied collection by two of comics hottest newcomers."
— Joe Zabel, indy
Haspiel's stylized black-and-white art contrasts nicely with Neufeld's
earthy cartooning to make for a consistently good-looking comic."
— Tom Palmer, "Palmer's Picks," Wizard
"Highly varied comic anthology that includes some autobio stuff, some
adrenaline-rich gunplay, and some dark modern violence."
— R. Seth Friedman, Factsheet Five
"Fans of alternative comics such as Acme Novelty Library or Zero
Zero should check out this very mixed but highly entertaining bag."
— "Publishers' Picks," Comics Buyer's Guide
"
If you're looking for the exceptional and unique, give Keyhole
a read."
— Tony Isabella's Journal
