The rise of Islam and its classical development.
JT Waldman presents "My Pekar Years: Creating Comix and Exploring Judaism with 'Our Man'"
2012 Hymson Lecture, part of the UK Speaker Series in Graphic Narrative and Visual Design
Harvey Pekar’s self-published series American Splendor proved that comics could be more than just super-heroes. Pekar’s legacy pervades much of contemporary independent comix. This presentation charts the final work of Pekar that focused on his Jewish identity before his death in 2010. Learn what it was like to work with the famous curmudgeon and watch a rare video clip of the Bard of the Rust Belt. JT Waldman is the Illustrator/Author of Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me and Megillat Esther.
