HARVEY PEKAR TRIBUTE by Mr. Hawthorne



Harvey was a giant of our humble medium and I'm proud to have worked with him, if only briefly.

There are some details of Harvey's burial over on Comics Beat. If Harvey and his work touched you in some way please consider donating a little money to his wife Joyce Brabne. The money will help defray the costs of Harvey's burial. Donations can be Paypal'ed to HPEKAR@aol.com.

I will also be selling this piece of art and donating all the money to Harvey's widow. Please e-mail me if you're interested - mhawthorne AT thinktankcomics.com

Best,
Mike

Awesome concept and execution, Mike. The guy from the city of Cleveland is still down to earth even while he's walking among the clouds.
What a really touching tribute.
