Richard McGuire (born 1957)[1] is an illustrator, graphic designer, comic book artist, animator, children's book author, musician, and toy designer. His illustrations have been published in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Le Monde, and other publications. His short story Here is likely the most lauded comic book story from recent decades.[2] He is a founding member[3] and bassist for the band Liquid Liquid.
