Here is a double feature about men who create comics. The recommendation is first from 1994, "Crumb" followed by, from 2003, "American Splendor." Here are two films for people who want their comics with a heavy dose of reality.
"Crumb" is a documentary of the comic book writer/artist Robert Crumb. It is unsettling and challenging to watch this very human story.
"American Splendor" is the mostly dramatized story of comic book writer Harvey Pekar. This film feels as true to life as "Crumb" although it is not strictly speaking a documentary.
Both films are really about the human condition. You don't have to be a comic book fan to enjoy these movies.
