1:00 PM Celebrating 50 Years of Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor Comics
Moderator Bruce Chrislip talks with comic book artist Joe Zabel about what it was like to work with Harvey Pekar on the American Splendor comic book series. Harvey Pekar chronicled his life in Cleveland starting in the Bicentennial summer of 1976 in the pages of American Splendor. He also famously (or maybe infamously) appeared on The David Letterman Show several times and was the subject of the award-winning American Splendor movie in 2003 starring Paul Giamatti as Harvey. From off the streets of Cleveland comes a fascinating look at the work of the man Alan Moore called “the greatest comic book writer of the last 40 or 50 years.” Don’t miss it!
