RIP Harvey Pekar and Tuli Kupferberg

July 14, 2010

Pour one out for Harvey Pekar and Tuli Kupferberg. Pekar was known for his comic American Splendor, which he wrote and enlisted artists to illustrate including R. Crumb. He also wrote “Students for a Democratic Society: A Graphic History”, and “Studs Terkel’s Working: A Graphic Adaptation” ( which Justseeds artist Dylan Miner contributed to). Kupferberg was a New York artist and musician in the Fugs, a bohemian and activist who’s antiwar songs became anthems of the Left.
