Harvey Pekar's Cleveland

A lifelong Cleveland resident, Harvey Pekar (1939-2010) pioneered autobiographical comics, mining the mundane for magic since 1976 in his ongoing "American Splendor" series. Harvey Pekar's "Cleveland" is sadly one of his last, but happily one of his most definitive graphic novels. It combines classic American Splendorous autobiographical anecdotes with key moments and characters in the city's history as relayed to us by "Our Man" and meticulously researched and rendered by artist Joseph Remnant. This title is presented with an introduction by Alan Moore to boot! It is published by ZIP Comics and Top Shelf Productions.
