American Splendor: Windfall #2
In "Candor," Harvey Pekar grapples with the quiet chaos of early morning as he searches frantically for a missing envelope—key to his liner notes work—only to compound the moment when he locks himself out. With Joyce’s frustration mounting over his disregard for his doctor’s orders, the domestic tension hums beneath the surface of a day already off-kilter. The story unfolds with the stark, intimate detail that defines Pekar’s voice, illustrated with precision by Joe Sacco and rendered in full by the cover art of Frank Stack.
