40 Part 37 – Harvey Pekar

I like Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor stories very much, and I’ve been trying to collect the original editions for a while now. However, I think that Harvey is in his prime when he does short, non-fictional, review-like comics, like the two I’m presenting here.

The tribute to Marlon Brando, above, is from Entertainment Weekly (July 17, 2004), and was illustrated by Gary Dumm. Below is an ode to Ohio, from the Washington Post (October 31, 2004), also with art by Gary Dumm.
