Harvey Pekar statue unveiled at library
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Five days ago, dignitaries unveiled a statue of Superman, Cleveland's superhero.
On Sunday, Cleveland's anti-hero got a bronze likeness of his own.
A shrugging bronze statue of the late Harvey Pekar was unveiled by his widow, Joyce Brabner, as dozens of friends, acquaintances and fans applauded on the second floor of the Cleveland Heights-University Heights Library on Lee Road.
The 2 1/2-foot-tall statue depicts Pekar stepping from the fiberglass replica of a page from one of his graphic novels.
'Pekar stands, elbows in, palms turned up.
"Oy vey! What do you want from my life?" reads a bubble next to Pekar.
