Richard McGuire, HERE

A room depicted from the same fixed perspective, like a time-lapse observation. Time moving forward and backward with each page. Fragments of multiple eras, people, and scenes inserted throughout.
This is the Japanese edition of an astonishing graphic novel/art book that illustrates the history of an American family and countless events occurring in a single space from 3 billion 50 million BCE until humanity's disappearance in 22175 CE. The author, Richard McGuire, holds diverse titles including illustrator, picture book author, short animation filmmaker, designer, and bassist for an avant-garde band. He achieves a grand journey through time, interweaving his own family history with the history of America and even Earth, establishing the pinnacle of comic expression in a single volume. It's a philosophical narrative about "here," a place that existed long before us and will continue long after we're gone. We hope you'll enjoy how the contours of the world feel changed after reading this book.
This Japanese edition includes special appendices: the original 6-page version published in 1989 and the version published in 2000, along with an essay by cartoonist Chris Ware and a translator's commentary.
