Richard McGuire — Then and There, Here and Now

Richard McGuire (b. 1957) is one of the greats in the world of contemporary comics. In the early 1980s, he wandered around New York sticking drawings to walls and advertising for his punk band Liquid Liquid with posters. In the 1990s, he took on commissions for illustrations, worked for the press (including The New Yorker ) and created his own children’s books, games, and toys; later he produced animated films and comic books. His graphic novel Here, published in 2014, is regarded as a milestone. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of McGuire’s work, which combines graphic elegance, intelligent concepts, and a delight in experimentation.
