Dean Haspiel on Harvey Pekar


I’m not going to pretend to be an expert on Harvey Pekar. But his impact on the comics medium is obvious. He was found dead early on Monday morning. My condolences to his family as well as his many friends, collaborators and fans.

If you’ve read my interviews in comics over the years, you know I have a hell of a lot of respect for Dean Haspiel. And not surprisingly, as a frequent collaborator and friend of Pekar’s, his appreciation is a damn fine read. Kudos to LA Times’ Geoff Boucher for getting Haspiel to write the piece.

I love Haspiel’s closing line, which I quote here:

“I can’t wait to see what Harvey Pekar and Edward Hopper cook up but, fingers crossed, I won’t be able to find out for a good while longer.”

Damn straight, Dean. Thanks for sharing, sir.
