About the product

Hardback graphic novel, B&W, 104 pages.

Before American Splendor, Harvey Pekar was THE QUITTER

For the first time, Harvey Pekar tells the story of his childhood as the son of Jewish immigrants. Through his tumultuous adolescence as a neighbourhood tough guy on the streets of Cleveland, his disastrous four-week stint in the Navy and the earliest stages of his life as a writer, this tour de force graphic novel is the universal tale of a young man's search for himself through the frustrations, redemptions and complexities of ordinary life.

Illustrated by acclaimed comics artist Dean Haspiel, THE QUITTER is Harvey Pekar's funniest and most heartwrenching work yet, and unforgettable graphic novel for all those, like Harvey, who have tried, failed and lived to quit another day.
