“Today I Am a Man”

In "Today I Am a Man," Harvey Pekar delivers another quietly powerful slice of life, following Joy as she navigates the awkward terrain of job hunting with dry wit and quiet resignation. The story unfolds with a simple yet telling moment—one phone call that lingers longer than expected—captured in the stark, expressive lines of Chandler Wood’s art, with Dean Haspiel’s cover adding a touch of wry, observational charm.
