Harvey Pekar Loses Himself In This Sixties Graphic History

  • 1/11/08 at 3:00 PM

This collection from comics superstar Harvey Pekar is an intimate document of sixties radicalism. The first of the two dozen stories details the rocket-fast rise and (literally) fiery crash, once the Weathermen broke off on their own, of the titular sixties antiwar group; the brisk, brief remaining chapters report fascinating first-person accounts of receiving draft letters and beatdowns from cops.
