Short description

An original mix of fiction and reality illuminates the life of comic book hero everyman Harvey Pekar.

What's left behind the scenes

All the documentary footage in the 'clean room' was shot in a single day.
NBC did not allow the filmmakers to use footage from the 1982 David Letterman show in which Harvey Picker became enraged during a conversation with the host. This scene had to be recreated.
