American Splendor
"Ordinary life can be pretty complex stuff" Harvey Pekar is known for saying and nobody
tells it better than he has in his American Splendor comic that he first started doing
30 years ago. Issue #1 of a new four issue series arrives at Galactic Comics this
Thursday, and though Mr.Pekar's life has changed somewhat due to his recent success, not his unique ability to turn the ordinary into extraordinary storytelling. This issue features a variety of artist as well as a splendid cover by Glen Fabry.
Earlier American Splendor books are also available, as well as the great movie starring
Paul Giamatti, and Hope Davis.
