Harvey Pekar; Master of The Drawn Memoir.

Harvey Pekar,

Master Of The Drawn Memoir.

Harvey Pekar was  an ordinary guy who decided to put some of the more interesting aspects of his life into a memoir. Being a long-time comic book fan, instead of writing his life story he decided to produce it as a comic or graphic novel and so he produced a series of crudely drawn strips illustrating his stories. These he passed onto comic book artists, including Robert Crumb, who produced professional drawings for him. 

His stories were drawn by a great variety of artists including his third wife Joyce Brabner, Drew Friedman and Alan Moore. Each artist created their own version of the look Pekar's world that ranged from the cartoonish to almost photo realistic.

Castle Market Fanzine by Missy Tassles

Missy Tassles Castle Market Fanzine.

This interesting item turned up during my research for the Castle Market 'zine project, it's a Castle Market Fanzine that was produced and sold by designer and girl about town Missy Tassles. Unfortunately they all sold out before I got one, buthere's a few interesting page shots from her website.

I suspect it has influenced my ideas a little in an indirect way, the hand drawn images and typography, the hand printed cover are all ideas I have used myself.
