SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE • From one of the great comic innovators, the long-awaited fulfillment of a pioneering comic vision: 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.
The New York Times Book Review has described Here by Richard McGuire as a comic-book equivalent of a scientific breakthrough. It is 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.
"A book like this comes along once a decade, if not a century…. I guarantee that you'll remember exactly where you are, or were, when you first read it," says Chris Ware of The Guardian.
McGuire has introduced a third dimension to the flat page, with the ability to 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.
This groundbreaking work features full-color illustrations throughout, offering a unique and captivating reading experience. The story unfolds within the confines of a single corner of a room, chronicling the events that have unfolded there over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.
The book's innovative approach to storytelling and its exploration of the temporal and spatial dimensions of a seemingly mundane space have garnered critical acclaim and generated a great deal of anticipation for its upcoming film adaptation.
As one of the great comic innovators, McGuire has delivered a pioneering comic vision that defies the boundaries of the medium. By weaving together the past, present, and future within the confines of a single room, he has created a work that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
The New York Times Book Review's praise for Here as a "lovely evocation of the spirit of place" and a "family drama under the gaze of eternity" captures the book's ability to transcend the limits of traditional comic storytelling and to offer a profound meditation on the human experience.
With its striking visual style and its ambitious exploration of the nature of time and space, Here promises to be a groundbreaking work that will leave a lasting impression on readers. Whether you're a devoted fan of comics or simply seeking a unique and thought-provoking reading experience, this book is sure to captivate and inspire.
