"Here"
Richard McGuire's innovative 36-panel 1989 comic Here, depicts one location over centuries.
Mr. McGuire, now 56, mostly sat out the graphic-novel boom that followed, instead turning his attention to designing toys, covers for The New Yorker, animated films and children?s books. But now he has popped up through a wormhole of his own, with a full-color, book-length version of ?Here? that once again transforms a corner of his childhood living room in New Jersey into a staging ground for all of earthly history.
The work will be published next month as both a hardcover book and an e-book. The e-book reshuffles the non-linear book further and creates new combinations of panels, making new connections.
