I think that trundergroundcomic?t is not quite the Properterm for this form, PerhaPS?tillustrated novelt? would becloser. I?m quite sure thatPekar could in f act wri-te a non-illustrated novel. It is theuniqueness of the comic book formthat gets us hooked, but the imPort-ance and the s tyle of the writ-ing that keeps us reading. Afteral-l a dozen panels of one manstandirrg there talking are not ex-a.ctly bieathtakingly visual. Stillfor al1 t hat Pekar gets. the best-illustrators f or his work. RobertCrumb, Gerry Shamray, and GregBudgeit as well as others are thecream of the comic ill-ustratorcrop. Some like Crumb are morecomic, others like ShamraY andBudgett more into realism.

I urge you to seek out anYt4ingyou can get by Harvey Pekar. rfFrom
