Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor Returns
The book is divided into halves. The first, “SDS Highlights,” written and illustrated by Pekar and Dumm, is a “just the facts” history of SDS punctuated here and there by sarcastic, world-weary commentary from Pekar himself. As Pekar and Dumm tell the story, the seeds of SDS’s self-destruction are planted very early. Despite its successes, SDS was never able to build the networks necessary to sustain the movement past the initial crises (segregation, women’s liberation and the Vietnam War) that motivated its birth.
