Omschrijving
Richard McGuire has been an illustrator at the world-renowned New Yorker magazine for over a decade. In this time he has used his one-panel 'spots' as a unique canvas upon which to practice the art of the graphic miniseries. Here these series are collected for the first time, as a charming, joyful and witty 'short story' collection.
Publisher's description. A delightful collection of New Yorker illustration 'spots' from the creator of the canonical and innovative graphic novel, Here. Charming, joyful and witty, the graphic novelist's equivalent of a perfectly formed, short story collection.
Personally, I think he's a genius, transforming every medium he works within into his own peculiar personal language
[Sequential Drawings] showcases McGuire's mastery of form and economy along with his knack for highlighting the often overlooked habits of our daily lives...Freewheeling, artful and exuberant
