Harvey Pekar returns to his roots as the “godfather of autobiographical comics” with this series of long stories about his life
Harvey Pekar achieved fame by writing comics about his own dull and boring life. But in doing so, he showed how everyday life is anything but dull and boring.
This series of five stories describes Harvey and the people he encounters as he goes about his daily life. You will meet people like “Hollywood Bob,” the guy who drives Harvey to the airport;
you’ll learn about a man who owns a diner that Harvey likes to frequent; you’ll travel to a book festival in West Virginia, where Harvey finds people who even he thinks are strange. These are
accounts of real, normal people—and Harvey provides classic, authentic stories that are always both humorous and poignant.
