At the beginning of the sixties, Harvey Pekar was a jazz critic and collector of old records to round off his monthly income.He then met Robert Crumb and discovered American underground comics.Fascinated by the possibilities offered by the medium, a few years later he developed an autobiographical comic book project and, unable to draw it, convinced Crumb and two Cleveland cartoonists, Gary Dumm and Greg Budgett, to illustrate the first stories.In 1976, he decided to self-publish his soon-to-be mythical series, American Splendor, in which the elite of the American independent scene would participate.The series received the prestigious American Book Award in 1987.American Splendor was adapted for the stage in 1985 and 1990 and finally made into a film in 2003, receiving the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.In American Splendor Harvey Pekar describes the daily life of the American middle class, through his own experience as an archivist in a Cleveland public hospital and his hectic romantic relationships, without hiding his choleric character and his manic-depressive episodes.He also portrays the characters he meets, culminating in a fresco of Cleveland, an industrial city deeply affected by the crisis of the seventies.Upon entering the scene, Harvey Pekar, the antihero of a disenchanted America after the shock of Vietnam, revolutionized the medium and created the first autobiographical comic book series that would have a great influence on later authors.The first volume of this anthology brings together the stories published between 1976 and 1982, written by Harvey Pekar and drawn by Gary Dumm, Robert Crumb, Gerry Shamray, Greg Budgett and Kevin Brown. tradeinn Techinn
