Mouse Guard: Winter 1152

In the harsh winter of 1152, David Petersen’s Mouse Guard: Winter 1152 (2009–present, Archaia Studios Press) follows the brave mice of the Guard as they face the brutal elements and a mysterious threat to their territories. A single-issue tale, this series showcases Petersen’s singular vision as both writer and artist, weaving a rich, medieval-inspired world of tiny heroes. Its detailed, atmospheric art and quiet, character-driven storytelling make it a standout entry in the anthropomorphic fantasy genre.
