PEKAR, Harvey. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED by the subject of the movie 
AMERICAN SPLENDOR. Original AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED consisting of 
more than 2000 words on 6 pages of both sides of lined legal-sized 
yellow paper. Titled "Felipe Alfau," this essay on the Spanish author 
Alfau was submitted by Harvey Pekar for inclusion in Dennis P. 
Eichhorn's Northwest EXTRA! tabloid. Written in pencil with some words 
circled or underlined in red ink by Pekar. The first paragraph captures 
Pekar's style: "Some years ago I was browsing in a second-hand book 
store and came upon a stubby red volume, Locos, by Felipe Alfau. I'd 
never heard of it or Alfau before but a quick look indicated that it was 
at least unusual. And autographed, which is important because if you 
don't want the book you can always deal it for something. Price.... 
Sold!" General, light wear. Near Fine. 		$350.00
