Synopsis

The release of the hit movie American Splendor raised Harvey Pekar's popularity to an entirely new level, and Titan's tie-in graphic novel was a runaway critical and commercial success. Now comes Our Movie Year, a brand new graphic novel, in which Pekar portrays his sudden rise, as seen through his hilariously grumpy point of view: from Sundance, to Cannes, the Oscars and beyond...Once Harvey was content merely to flirt with fame. But now he's become a household name. Sort of. And, to tell you the truth, it's starting to bug the hell out of him. With the succes of the movie, Harvey won awards, accolades and the promise of a bigger paycheck. A lot of funny things can happen in year, and many of them happened to Harvey. And now you can read about them all...
