On April 28, 2010, I had the opportunity to hear the late Harvey Pekar speak at Modern Myths, a comics store in Northampton, MA. I brought my sketchbook, as usual, and during the lecture I made some rough sketches. I thought they were pretty undistinguished at the time so I didn’t upload them, but in light of his passing this week, I thought I would share them.
He was 70 when he died. Way too soon.
I think you captured him totally.
Oh man, those are so great! I’m really glad to see a little notice of Harvey’s passing on the site. He was a real believer in the power of comics to document the human experience, of which there is far too little.
