American Splendor (2003)
Impiegato all'ospedale per veterani di Cleveland, Harvey Pekar trascorre gran parte del suo tempo a scrivere, a leggere ed ascoltare i suoi adorati brani di musica jazz e ad architettare clamorosi scherzi. Un giorno, però, il suo amico Robert Crumb ottiene un clamoroso riconoscimento grazie alla sue opere comiche. Punto sul vivo, Harvey pensa allora a scrivere una striscia di fumetti con la quale raccontare le gioie e i dolori del quotidiano..
Direttori: Shari Springer Berman, Robert Pulcini.
