1001 COMICS MINI-SITE
Even with 960 pages, I couldn't squeeze all the material I had into my book 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die. This mini-site is designed to supplement that book with updates, additional information and links... but obviously you'll still need a copy of the book!

First published: 1989
Reviewed by: Stephen Betts
Genre:
Avant Garde,
Science Fiction
Every once in a while an artist comes along who takes the accurred potential of his or her discipline and recasts it into a brand-new way of seeing or feeling. Cézanne famously accomplished it with painting, Stravinsky did it with music, Joyce with writing - and Richard McGuire, I think, did it with comics. It may sound a bit hyperbolic, but I believe that with his deceptively modest strip Here, which first appeared in Raw magazine, vol 2, no. 1, in 1989, Richard McGuire revolutionised the narrative possibilities of comic strips. - Chris Ware (from Comic Art #8)
