Harvey Pekar: I think the main reason was that comics' potential was hardly being scratched at that point.
There were some pretty amusing strips, but most comic books at the time were still being written for kids, and it was clear that you could do anything with comics that you could do with any other art form, but less of it was being done.

When Harvey stopped producing comics in the early 1980s it was because it had been devastated by lawsuits, period.

On June 11, Santa Monica-based Harvey Comics Entertainment Inc., which owns the rights to such friendly cartoon characters as Casper, Richie Rich and Baby Huey, raised $9 million with an initial public offering of 1.2 million shares at $7.50 per share.
By June 23, Harvey's stock was trading on the over-the-counter market at more than $8.50 per share after hitting a high of $10.25 earlier in the week.
As a result of the offering, the life of Harvey's chief executive officer, 28-year-old Jeffrey A. Montgomery, is beginning to resemble that of one of the cartoon characters he owns -- Richie Rich.

 Hogan's Interviews | Harvey Pekar
We called her “Dr. Rhodes.” She told the writer Harvey was treated before they started using a drug that would have done a lot to minimize the suffering he experienced during immunosuppression, when he was blistered all over and trying to sleep on the palms of his hands and on his knees.
She used to tell patients like Harvey that his particular combination of drugs for chemotherapy was “a 12-week treatment.” She now calls it a “12-part treatment” because no one gets through it that fast.
We renamed Harvey’s oncologist because, when we went to press, the awful nurse was still working for her.

 Recycling Bin 47 - Royal Roy, a Derivative Boy (May 2001)
All featured a Harvey house style, involving a clean and upbeat feel to the art and characters with disproportionately large heads relative to their bodies, a conventional indicator of prepubescence in comic-book treatments of human anatomy.
Having noted the incriminating similarities to Harvey concepts and furthermore observed the self-defeating character of some types of imitation (particularly of material which the comics market ultimately couldn't support any longer), we might ask ourselves whether Marvel Comics' Star line of books, through this specimen, intended something more along the lines of an homage.
As one mitigating circumstance, however, we have the general failure of Harvey Comics as a publisher in an imploding industry, a condition that makes such intellectual five-finger discounting more akin to picking a dead man's pocket than a holdup.

In 1976, Harvey Pekar brought a real breakthrough in American comics: his 'American Splendor', a comic featuring Pekar's stories drawn by several artists such as R.
Crumb, Joe Zabel, G. Budgett and Gary Dumm, brought unflinching realism into comics.
Harvey Pekar billed this book as coming "from off the streets of Cleveland" and that's the kind of stories readers got - no bombast in either tag lines or narratives, no romanticizing of either sex or violence.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Harvey Comics
In the early 1940s, Harvey Comics (founded by brothers Leon, Robert and Alfred Harvey) was a very small, but otherwise very typical comic book publisher.
By the 1980s, comic book sales in general were down, especially for publishers that didn't have well established superheroes on the market.
Following a 1989 change in ownership (in which the Harvey family retained ownership of only two characters, The Black Cat and Sad Sack), the company (now re-named The Harvey Entertainment Company) went through another flurry of publishing properties licensed from other companies.

 The Other Guys: Pre-Code Horror Comics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Comic books were clearly taking a great deal of their inspiration from the pulp magazines; generally, if something sold well in the pulps, it would turn up in comics not long after.
Their longest-running title was Jumbo Comics, which had long since ceased to be any larger than any other comic book by the time of the horror fad; for its final seven issues, numbered #161 through 167, the cover and lead feature were horror, though the rest of the book remained a mix.
The comics market was declining at the time anyway, and at very nearly the same time that the Code came in there was a major shake-up in the magazine distribution system--the American News Company, by far the largest distributor in North America, was liquidated by its stockholders.

Kurtzman spends an inordinate amount of time on his own work: Mad magazine and the true-life war comics, both of which he created for Entertaining Comics (EC) in the 1950s; the short-lived Mad -like magazines he did after parting ways with EC; and his Little Annie Fanny strip in Playboy.
Yet he is denigrating to the creators of Superman and Batman and to the underground cartoonists of the 1960s, and his look at contemporary comics tilts a bit too often toward the commercial.
