Harvey Pekar (1939–2010), the Cleveland VA-hospital file clerk who from the mid-1970s turned the ordinary texture of his working life into autobiographical comics, wrote and storyboarded the pieces; his friend Robert Crumb — the dominant figure of the 1960s American underground comix movement and founder of \u003cem\u003eZap Comix\u003c\/em\u003e — drew them. The \u003cem\u003eAmerican Splendor\u003c\/em\u003e series was later adapted into the acclaimed 2003 film starring Paul Giamatti as Pekar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e TO-2026-099\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pekar, Harvey","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":46459954430113,"sku":"TO-2026-099","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7001\/0785\/files\/TO-2026-099_01.jpg?v=1785812100","url":"https:\/\/twoorangesbooks.com\/products\/to-2026-099","provider":"Two Oranges Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
