American Splendor: Odds and Ends

Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor returns to Dark Horse for a single-issue vignette, teaming him with artist Sam Hurt for a slice-of-life look at the mundane absurdities and small triumphs of everyday existence. True to Pekar’s signature approach, this 1997 comic turns the ordinary—from workplace gripes to personal oddities—into compelling, unvarnished storytelling. A brief but essential addition to Pekar’s long-running autobiographical series, it captures the quiet, wry humor that made his work a landmark in indie comics.
