Preview: ‘Mouse Guard: Baldwin the Brave’
Just in time for the holidays, here’s a new, stand-alone book of Mouse Guard stories. Mouse Guard: Baldwin the Brave collects six short stories, four that originally appeared on Free Comic Book Day and two that are brand new, in a slim, hardcover volume. As creator David Petersen explains in the introduction, the stories are designed to be welcoming to new readers and rewarding for longtime fans. The book is out in comics shops on Wednesday. In the meantime, we have some pages for you to enjoy; this is more of a sampler than a preview, as it includes the first page of each of the stories. Enjoy!
