Muybridge

Guy Delisle’s Muybridge (Drawn & Quarterly, 2025–present) is a graphic biography that traces the life and obsessive work of Eadweard Muybridge, the pioneering photographer whose stop-motion studies of motion laid the groundwork for cinema. Written by Delisle with translators Helge Dascher and Rob Aspinall, and illustrated entirely by Delisle, the series explores the contradictions of a brilliant, volatile artist whose innovations were shadowed by personal scandal. It matters as a thoughtful, visually driven portrait of a key figure in visual culture, told with Delisle’s signature clean line and quiet, observational storytelling.
