Harvey Pekar was one of the first underground comix artist that came up alongside R. Crumb and this Kickstarter to preserve his life's work only has 7 backers (counting me)! Kick a few dollar in if you can.

Jerry Moriarty Dies at 88: The Quiet Master Who Brought Painting into Comics Leaves an Enduring Legacy
One of the most original and influential figures in alternative comics, Jerry Moriarty, passed away on March 25, 2026, at the age of 88. Describing himself as a "paintoonist," Moriarty was widely regarded as a pioneer who treated comics not simply as sequential storytelling but as an art form where painting, memory, and visual poetry could coexist. Although he deliberately stayed outside the mainstream throughout his career, his work profoundly influenced generations of cartoonists, illustrators, and graphic novelists.

He passed away recently, and to honor his memory @comicsjournal.bsky.social has made available an interview that @gtlabsrat.bsky.social & I did with him a while back. www.tcj.com/the-comics-j...

RIP Frank Stack, who worked on my favorite one shot comic ever, ‘American Splendor: Transatlantic Comics.’ THE best, in my opinion, American Splendor artist.
