Wheeling Reads Presents: A Panel Discussion of Richard McGuire’s Graphic Novel “Here”
Our Panel:
Graphic novel writer Danny Boyd
Archaeologist Dr. Marie Cummings
West Virginia Poet Laureate Marc Harshman
Comic book artist Luke Novel
Our panelists will discuss the story of a corner of a room and the events that have occurred in that space over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.
“In Here, McGuire has introduced a third dimension to the flat page. He can poke holes in the space-time continuum simply by imposing frames that act as trans-temporal windows into the larger frame that stands for the provisional now. Here is the comic book equivalent of a scientific breakthrough. It is also 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.” —The New York Times Book Review
