Perhaps you'll think I just crawled out of a cave, but I never heard of American Splendor until my friend convinced me to watch the film based on Harvey Pekar's life. I loved it!
Now I'm reading some of the anthologies still in print. I'm amazed at how deeply his stories of everyday life resonate. His voice unifies the different styles of artwork in which American Splendor was illustrated.
I have a feeling I'll be more involved with comics/graphic novels from now on.
