Today’s Project of the Day is the Harvey Pekar Library Statue.
Harvey Pekar is best known as the man behind American Splendor, a series of autobiographical comics that followed him through his everyday trials and tribulations, and served as a catalyst in bringing comics to a whole new audience. Since his passing, the comics community have banded together to honor Harvey, his love of comics and his native Cleveland. This project, a statue of Harvey to be on view at a Cleveland Heights library, celebrates each of those, and, in turn, encourages children of all ages to start writing and drawing their own comics.
