ITEM OVERVIEW
In the thirty-five years since Pulitzer Prize-winner Studs Terkel's Working was first published, it has captivated millions of readers with its lyrical and heartbreaking accounts of how their fellow citizens earn a living. Widely regarded as a masterpiece of oral history, it has now been adapted into comic book form by comics legend Harvey Pekar, the blue-collar antihero of the comic series (and the movie) American Splendor.
In Studs Terkel's Working, Pekar offers a brilliang visual adaptation of Terkel's verbatim interviews, collaborating with both established comics veterans and some of the comic underground's brightest new talent. Here are riveting accounts of the lives of ordinary Americans—farmers, miners, barbers, sex workers, box boys, stockbrokers—depicted with unsurpassed dignity and frankness. A visual treat with a visceral impact, Studs Terkel's Working will delight Terkel fans everywhere and introduce his most powerful work to a new generation.
