"Here," Then and Now
Briefly

Richard McGuire's comic 'Here' utilizes panels as portals through time, creating a multilayered narrative that captures the changing dynamics of a family across eras.
McGuire explained that by innovatively aligning the room with the book fold in his graphic novel, he transformed the reading experience into something sculptural, inviting readers into a shared space.
Critic Lucy Sante remarked on 'Here's' unforgettable impact, stating that McGuire transcended traditional comic storytelling by introducing a third dimension to the flat page.
The shift from a simple six-page strip to a nearly three hundred page graphic novel allowed McGuire to populate his story with a richer cast and overlapping narratives.
