Pekar, one of comics’ true originals, one of its most important writers, and an icon of the small press, reaches his 70th year this day. To celebrate, his new webcomic, The Pekar Project, is running 70+ portraits of the master by a diverse array of artists. Click on the link for the whole show, but here are a few as an appetizer:
Jeff Smith
Renee French
Ben Templesmith
Happy birthday, Harvey! You are one of a kind and a national treasure!
Why did Ben Templesmith draw Gargamel?
Very cool project! :)
Nice to see some portrait work and how each artist handled drawing him.
Just for you, “Pappa”.
