“I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist.”

American underground comic book writer, music critic, and media personality

Harvey Lawrence Pekar was an American underground comic book writer, music critic, and media personality. He is best known for his autobiographical comic series American Splendor. Pekar wrote about his own life in a plain, direct style that helped define the feel of American Splendor. The series later inspired a 2003 film of the same name, and his work also reflected his interests as a critic and public personality.
