Mouse Guard is a comic, by David Petersen, set in a world of sentient mice who live in a medieval era, paralleling the same age in human history, though in their world there are no humans. Its stories revolve around a brotherhood of mice known as the "Mouse Guard" who have sworn an oath to serve their fellow civilian mice in times of need, including making safe passage for them through the wilderness and protecting them from predators.

Makes me think of Red Wall, such good books

Holy crap I didn't realize Mouse Guard was a comic. I was bummed when the movie/show/game(?) was cancelled.

mouseguard stories are told 90% in pictures, and 10% words. Peterson doesn't use a word when a full page spread will do

I own three original pages from Mouse Guard #2. David was selling them to pay for his trip to Wizard World Chicago the first year he went.

Although given how slow his output is, I'm pretty sure at this point his career is just going to comic conventions.

They were going to make a movie, but sadly it was cancelled. Seth Engstrom did wonderful concept art for it https://imgur.com/jurSKVM

Disney bought Fox, and scrapped the whole thing even though everything was ready to go. Super sad.

There also is an excellent RPG for it …

David Petersen is a super nice guy who is a blast to hang out with and, like many others, was screwed over by Disney.

Gorgeous books, and interesting story from what I’ve read so far! Thanks for the reminder to check for more!

I feel like I read a book just like these illustrations. the most I remeber is when a mouse gets torn apart by crabs sacrificing himself.

Looks like it took a lot of inspiration from Brian Jacques' Redwall series. I bet it's pretty good!

"Inspiration" is a nice way of putting it.

Sometimes, more than twenty years after reading them, I still catch myself singing the tunes I made up for the songs the characters would /1

This looks different, but I’m sure it’s at least partially inspired by Redwall

Can I just say how happy I am that imgur has a healthy Redwall fandom? I spent so much of my life alone in my love for the series.

I remember this show as a child, at 30(today) I just watched the first 3 episodes...this show was for kids?

I loved those books. Re-read the hell out of them. I always wrote to Brian Jacques fan club and they would send me back art and bookmarks

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Very fond of the series. Jacques did follow a pretty rigid formula, but damned if it didn't work every time. I read up to book 17.

Also, his book tour came through my library, and me & my twin got our copies of Redwall and Mossflower signed :)

I hear you. No one else I knew had even heard of Redwall, much less read any of the books. Warbeak was always my favourite character.

One of my most special possessions is a beautiful hardback Mossflower that my dad gave me when I was a kid.

I've read all his books, I think Taggerung, Pearls of Lutra, and Marlfox are my favorites.
