It was only after Joe Matt's unexpected death last year, at 60, that it was discovered that he had been working on a new issue of Peepshow all this time – since #14 was published in 2006 – and that an entire issue was complete aside from four uninked pages.  And so, with a little help from Matt’s cartoonist friends, Peepshow #15 has now arrived!

It doesn't feel like it took seventeen years to complete.  It reads just like you would think the new issue of Peepshow would.  And not only that, you could make the case that it is the best issue of the series. Forty full pages of great comics, all in uniform six or eight panel grids, clearly laid out and cleanly inked – four, that were left in pencil form at the time of Matt's demise, by Chester Brown in a manner so faithful to Matt's own inking that few people other than Seth would be able to tell the difference.  In this issue readers will encounter the tales of Matt's departure from Toronto, arrival in L.A., his shot at the big time with his pitching of a Peepshow HBO series, and, of course, intimate details of his love life, closing, finally, with a Crumb confessional.

It's a great swan song, but it is bittersweet not only in knowing that it is the final work but also in how it leaves the reader wondering why there couldn't have been more...

It looks like we may not be able to get anymore of this – BUT, as of this writing, it looks like Fantagraphics still has it in stock.   So, if you really want a copy, your best course of action may be to buy it directly from them and keep your fingers crossed...
