American Splendor Special: A Step Out of the Nest #[nn]
In "A Step... ...Out of the Nest," Harvey Pekar faces a familiar crossroads: the chance to appear on the David Letterman show, a moment that brings both excitement and self-doubt. Written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Joe Zabel, with inks by Gary Dumm and John Stats, the story captures a quiet, introspective moment as Harvey weighs the personal cost against the practical benefits. The cover, by Joe Zabel, reflects the tension of that decision.
