2. Richard McGuire did a handful of pages for RAW magazine in the late 1980s and early 1990s which have reshaped comics.

5. What McGuire did in these comics was push the diagrammatic & analytical component of comics to an extreme, pictures as ideograms.

6. McGuire's comics seemed like far-out experimental stuff in 1989/1990, yet they shaped a mainstream work like Marvel Comics "Hawkeye"

9. The journey of McGuire's aesthetic from RAW to Marvel comics follows a familiar pattern: avant-garde really is advanced guard of art.

10. Another example would be Spiegelman's work, both pre-RAW in RAW, which came to inflect work of Alan Moore.

11. In works like "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" Spiegelman created disjunction between caption and image, to create implied story.
