The fan-favorite backlist graphic novel, We Stand on Guard, by New York Times bestselling writer Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Paper Girls) and artist Steve Skroce (Doc Frankenstein, storyboard artist for The Matrix), is experiencing a resurgence in popularity this month due to current events surrounding the United States-Canada trade relations.
Available in both trade paperback and hardcover, orders this week have exceeded total sales for the title over the past year. The limited edition deluxe hardcover is nearing a complete sell-out at the distributor, and copies of the paperback are flying off the shelves at record pace speed.
“Many of my proudest collaborations have been with Canadian creators, and it was a particular thrill to finally work with legendary artist Steve Skroce,” said Vaughan. “So I’m grateful that readers have been revisiting our nightmarish war story, which we hope remains fiction.”
Set 100 years in the future, We Stand On Guard follows a heroic group of Canadian civilians turned freedom fighters who must defend their homeland from invasion by a technologically superior adversary… the U.S. It compiles the complete story of We Stand On Guard issues #1-6.
We Stand on Guard first launched a decade ago in single issue format and went on to be released in a deluxe hardcover edition and then trade paperback.
