Harvey Pekar, Cleveland comic-book legend, dies at age 70

One of the true innovators in the history of comics. Far from being a relic, he was still actively working. A genuine loss to comics fans everywhere.
I only became a fan a few years back, had never even heard of him until I watched the film adaptation of American Splendor. Tragic loss, impressive legacy.
