Official synopsis
O balconista de hospital Harvey Pekar (Paul Giamatti) deixa cair no chão alguns arquivos de óbito e encontra a ficha de um homem que trabalhou a vida inteira como balconista em Cleveland um emprego burocrático, exatamente como o dele. Esse episódio, combinado com o fato de ter visto o seu amigo Robert Crumb (James Urbaniak) se tornar uma pequena celebridade em São Francisco como cartunista, o inspiram a criar a sua própria revista em quadrinhos, chamada American Splendor. A revista, publicada em 1976 com grande sucesso, retratava com realismo o cotidiano do próprio Harvey, um amante compulsivo de jazz e livros. Trata-se de uma biografia.
