THE QUITTER SC Written by Harvey Pekar Art and cover by Dean Haspiel "Pekar's most poignant and satisfying effort to date." - The New York Times Book Review "A searingly honest memoir...Pekar's work dignifies the struggle of the average man." - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "The brilliance of THE QUITTER rests in how Pekar unironically exposes the tragedy of missed opportunities and the general ridiculousness of human behavior. Grade: A." - Entertainment Weekly "Brutally honest..." - Rolling Stone Don't miss this new softcover edition of the award-nominated graphic novel telling the story of Harkey Pekar's troubled teen years for the first time.

This isn't a story about triumph. The title should make that clear. So if you just can't stand the thought of repetitive failure, then leave it alone. Pekar's realism shines through here.
