![]() ![]() McGuire worked on the follow-up novel for almost 15 years. ![]() The simple black-and-white short, credited with revolutionizing the possibilities of the form, has been a major influence on subsequent generations of cartoonists. McGuire’s panels-within-panels concept was inspired by Microsoft Windows, then just four years old. ![]() The novel began life as a six-page graphic short, published in 1989 in Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly’s influential avant-garde comics magazine RAW. Within each larger panel, smaller, super-imposed panels depict the room in different moments, so that, for example, a catastrophic flood in 2030 takes place alongside a mirror falling from the wall in the 1990s. Beginning in the corner of a suburban New Jersey living room in the 1950s, every page of the novel is located in the same spot: however, the moment in time at which the room is depicted varies from 3,000,500,000 BC to 10,175 AD. Here (2014) is a graphic novel by American artist and illustrator Richard McGuire. ![]()
