Comic Strip Archives

This blog was the original site that hosted the beginnings of what was the first comic strips created among myself (Tara Seibel) and the late legendary Harvey Pekar. Author of the classic underground comic American Splendor. These comics were called "Rock City - Terminally Ill" a tongue and cheek title to indicate our hometown Cleveland, Ohio. With the Terminal Tower logo. The comics were published regularly in Chicago New City, The Austin Chronicle, Funny Times, Cleveland Free Times, Smith Magazine, Scene, and the Jewish Review of Books. Enjoy!
