 Here by Richard McGuire, 304 pages.

McGuire takes a single room and uses it to overlay the history of a single place, from prehistory to the distant future. The result is a startling graphic novel that feels like it pushes against the edges of the medium and into something that feels innovative and new. McGuire frequently overlays both recontextualized similarities and dramatic differences into something that feels like it really captures the spirit of history. Although there isn't any plot to speak of, I still found myself engrossed in this graphic novel. It is difficult to describe the effect of the layout, so I am also including a page of the book here to capture the spirit. I don't believe this is a book only limited to fans of graphic novels, it has a lot to offer anyone. 

(It was also apparently based on comic strips by the same author published in 1989, which i think adds an interesting extra dimension)
