In this all-new graphic novel, Harvey Pekar - whose award-winning series American Splendor became a feted movie - tells the story of his teen years for the first time. When he failed to impress, whether on the football team, in math class, in the Navy or on the job, Pekar simply gave up! A true tour-de-force, The Quitter is the universal tale of a young man's search for himself through the frustrations, redemptions and complexities of ordinary life.
