REVIEW SCORE 9
American Splendor #6 gets off to a great start with "Ripoff Chick," a story about Harvey's brief relationship with a pretty blonde. The next several stories are kinda weak, though "Read This" is a pretty solid tale about a record collector who helps Harvey move into a new apartment. Near the end of the comic is an interesting story about a woman Harvey knew in high school and meets again twenty years later.
