Richard McGuire - Then and There, Here and Now

First comprehensive publication on the artist's complete oeuvre

Richard McGuire is one of the great 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 and created his own children’s books, games, and toys; later he produced animated films and comic books.

This publication offers a comprehensive overview of McGuire’s work, which combines graphic elegance, intelligent concepts, and a delight in experimentation.
