Before Harvey Pekar self-published American Splendor in 1976, there were no publicly distributed memoir comic books. Sure, people doodled in their journals or sketchbooks, and some super-hero artists/writers included themselves in their fantastic stories, but before American Splendor, comix were synonymous with fiction and fantasy. This book helped pave the way for some of our favorite graphic novels like Maus and Persepolis! (via Graphic Memoir: The Legacy of Harvey Pekar)
