Mouse Guard week: Free Comic Book Day
A page from the Free Comic Book Day Mouse Guard book.
David Petersen’s “Mouse Guard” joins “Fraggle Rock” as Archaia’s entry into Free Comic Book Day. His story will be 11 pages, with the other half of the book launching Archaia’s take on the “Fraggle Rock” property.
Petersen has participated in Free Comic Book Day on his own the past three years without a specific tie-in.
“I’ve participated in Free Comic Book Day, just going to local stores, doing signings, sketching, just being part of the whole thing,” Petersen said. “In the past, because I haven’t had a free book like we do this year, a participating book, at my own cost I would always generate a print and hand that out for free in the spirit of Free Comic Book Day. I felt really awkward being there saying, ‘Hi, I’m here and I’ll sign your books, but you have to buy them on Free Comic Book Day.’ So I always made sure that I had something for free.”
This year, what he’ll have for free is the official Archaia Free Comic Book Day book.
“This year Archaia said we want to do a Mouse Guard and Fraggle Rock combined Free Comic Book Day book. And I was all for it, because I think it’s a great event, and obviously it helps my book, it helps Archaia, it helps Fraggle Rock, so how could I say no?”
