Petersen’s mouse opus was clearly built world-first. Mouse Guard Fall 1152 began life when writer and artist David Petersen began to contemplate what a mouse society would be like, given that they would be probably be isolated based on size. But it was only after digging through the University of Denver’s library (and its revolving shelves!) that I actually read the darn thing. This included the roleplaying adaptation and the Free Comic Book Day comic. If Mouse Guard was on it, I would, eventually, examine it. (There’s a rodents of unusual size joke in there somewhere, but, as we’ve discussed, I was raised by French wolves, so I don’t even remember where that comes from.) I put it back, but I never forgot about it. I distinctly remember picking through the collected comics at my childhood Books-a-Million, undoubtedly seeking Harley Quinn: Preludes and Knock-Knock Jokes, and being struck by its unusual size. Mouse Guard Fall 1152 was the one of the first independent comics I ever picked up.
