This much you know. But with the release of <i>American Splendor,</i> the indie hit film based on his comic of the same name, the world discovered Harvey in earnest. Once Harvey was content merely to flirt with fame. But when fame wanted a commitment, he found himself a household name. Sort of. And, to tell you the truth, it&#8217;s starting to bug the hell out of him. <br><br>An original, incisive graphic novel featuring the talents of R. Crumb, Gary Dumm, Mark Zingarelli, and other artists, <i>Our Movie Year</i> chronicles a whirlwind twelve months in the life of Harvey Pekar. It recounts his rise from the filing room at the Cleveland VA hospital to the red carpet at Cannes, Sundance, the Oscars, and beyond&#8211;where Harvey won awards, accolades, and the promise of a bigger paycheck. A lot of funny things can happen in a year, and many of them happened to Harvey. And now everyone gets to read about them in <i>Our Movie Year</i>. 488781 7 12 2004 American Splendor Our Movie Year total:117|5:19|4:40|3:45|2:13|1:0| 117 416 144 15 2 0 false false Sat Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 07 15:45:00 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 25 08:21:46 -0700 2009
