MOUSE GUARD: LEGENDS OF THE GUARD is a continuing anthology series with artists and storytellers handpicked by MOUSE GUARD creator David Petersen.

In this issue, Sean Rubin (REDWALL) and Alex Kain tell the story of what it takes to be a member of the Mouse Guard. Terry Moore (STRANGERS IN PARADISE) relates how two Guard Mice cleverly wriggle out of a potentially lethal situation.
