Witness Harvey's daily trials and tribulations in this all-new graphic novel, where a missing cat causes more stress than it should, a disobedient teenage daughter inspires some mild aggravation and the price for a bag of peanuts is enough to send an otherwise sane man over the edge! Illustrated by comics' best-known talent including Glenn Fabry, Dean Haspiel, Eddie Campbell, and Chris Weston, "American Splendor" is a joyous slice of American life.
