R.I.P. Harvey Pekar

Back in 2005, I was fortunate enough to have met the legendary Harvey Pekar. It was Wondercon 2005, and his book, American Splendor: Our Movie Year had recently came out. There were other greats at the con that year– Marv Wolfman, David Lapham, JMS, Brian K. Vaughn… But right when I entered the Moscone Center, I looked through the program and searched where Harvey was set up, and made my way to his booth right away.  When I found him, I was surprised, yet glad to see him sitting there, elbow on the table, fist underneath his cheek, waiting.
