About the series
Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor continued its long, idiosyncratic run under DC’s banner with this 2006–2007, four-issue series. Teaming with artists including Bob Fingerman, Chandler Wood, and Dean Haspiel, Pekar produced his trademark slice-of-life comics—wry, unglamorous dispatches from his Cleveland world and the everyday absurdities of modern life. It stands as a late-career highlight for the writer who proved that the most ordinary stories could be extraordinary comics.
