From the BBC:

Cult comic author Harvey Pekar, creator of American Splendor, has died at the age of 70.

Pekar’s life and work provided the basis for the 2003 film American Splendor, starring Paul Giamatti.

Eschewing superheroes, capes and other more traditional comic material, Pekar preferred to show the mundanity of the daily grind.

Adam Cadwell has started a group on Flickr for other people to add their drawings of Harvey, called, Draw Harvey! and invites anyone to add a drawing. Adam’s own Harvey portrait here is pretty damn wonderful, incidentally.
