Description: This original page from Mouse Guard #1 (Fall 1152) holds immense collector value as a foundational artifact from the premier issue of David Petersen’s Eisner Award-winning indie phenomenon. Written, penciled, and inked entirely by Petersen, the artwork beautifully showcases his storybook-style pencils and dense, organic ink work, balancing the delicate charm of his character designs with a moody, high-contrast atmosphere. The historical weight of this page is elevated significantly because it features prominent solo panels of Lieam, the green-cloaked protagonist who serves as one of the series' central primary heroes. By capturing the tense moment Lieam investigates a woven wicker barrier only to trigger the story's very first encounter with a predatory snake, this page represents the true genesis of the Mouse Guard epic. For a serious collector, owning a key narrative sequence from issue #1 featuring a premier main protagonist makes this a cornerstone investment piece of modern independent comic history.
