My Comic Book Collection: American Splendor Special: A Step Out of the Nest #1 (August 1994)

  Last night I was in a sour mood. Before going to bed, I reread this issue (My very first Harvey Pekar comic book from 1994!) and it ended up cheering me up for some reason. I guess good comic books can do that for you when you're feeling low every now and then. The older I get, the more I find Pekar to be an inspiration. I guess I can sympathize with a working class artist who wasn't too happy with his job and just wanted more out of his life. Yeah, I can relate to that.
