Harvey Pekar, author of the comic book "American Splendor," and subject of the new film by that name, visited Spinning On Air back in 1995. The occasion was the publication of "Our Cancer Year," a book he created with his wife Joyce Brabner and artist Frank Stack. This show includes that interview with Harvey and Joyce, which focusses on the medium of comics and the autobiographical story their book tells. Also, excited by the music often presented on Spinning On Air, Harvey--a long-time music critic--stayed for a second hour with host David Garland to present some of the recordings Harvey was enthusiastic about, by such folks as John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Don Byron, and others.
