Chad Bilyeu is an ex-pat Clevelander who has taken a page out of Harvey Pekar's playbook for American Splendor and applied it to his life in Amsterdam. Filled with engaging tales, insightful vignettes and witty anecdotes, each drawn by one of a large number of talented artists whom he has recruited to his project, Chad in Amsterdam entirely scripted and self-published by Chad Bilyeu and provides his very personal take on well over a decade's worth of one ex-pat's experiences living in Amsterdam.
