On Monday the graphic novel world lost a legend and true original. Harvey Pekar was the creator of the American Splendor series and the subject of a movie by the same title. I know I am in the minority as far as those in this club who read graphic novels but I highly recommend giving his books a look.
Here are two articles and an NPR clip on the passing of this literary original:
