Scarce Signed Hardcover
Mouse Guard Fall 1152
Notes: The first collected graphic novel of David Peterson's long-running independent comic series. And these are independent not just because they aren't published by the major companies, they are also square, and not comic-book shaped.
On the NPR list of 100 best graphic novels: the "Mouse Guard series boasts a rich mythology, gorgeous, warmly colored depictions of the natural world, vibrantly realized characters and spectacular set pieces... But it's Petersen's meticulous commitment to world building and his determination to fully realize his fanciful conceit—an elite cadre of mice that defend mousedom from threats foreign and domestic—that transport Mouse Guard out of the realm of 'funny animal' comics." In other words, Watership Down meets The Three Musketeers, with mice.
Not paginated, but ca. 140 pages. Full color. 8-1/4 inches square.
Edition + Condition: First edition (first printing with a numberline ending in 1). A very good copy in a very good dust jacket, with light shelf wear. Signed by Peterson on the title page and scarce thus.
