In "A Case Quarter," Harvey Pekar navigates the quiet dread of an overnight drive from Washington to Cleveland, his anxiety sharpened by the open road. At a lonely interstate gas station, the car sputters to a halt—just as Joyce calls to arrange a mechanic’s visit. With art by Bill Knapp and a cover by Val Mayerik, this 1986 issue captures the mundane tension of everyday life with unflinching honesty.
