Here (Pantheon Graphic Library)
by Richard McGuireFrom one of the great comic innovators, the long-awaited fulfillment of a pioneering comic vision. Richard McGuire&’s Here is the story of a corner of a room and of the events that have occurred in that space over the course of hundreds of thousands of years."In Here McGuire has introduced a third dimension to the flat page. He can poke holes in the space-time continuum simply by imposing frames that act as transtemporal windows into the larger frame that stands for the provisional now. Here is the comic-book equivalent of a scientific breakthrough. It is also a lovely evocation of the spirit of place, a family drama under the gaze of eternity and a ghost story in which all of us are enlisted to haunt and be haunted in turn.&” —The New York Times Book ReviewWith full-color illustrations throughout
