PORTLAND, Ore. 02/10/2025 — 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 seeing a resurgence in popularity this month in light of current events surrounding the United States-Canada trade relations.
Available in both trade paperback and hardcover, orders piling up this week exceeded total sales for the title in the past year. The limited edition deluxe hardcover is currently nearing a complete sell-out at the distributor and copies of the paperback are flying off the shelves at record 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 band of Canadian civilians turned freedom fighters who must defend their homeland from invasion by a technologically superior opponent… the U.S. It collects the complete story, 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.
We Stand On Guard (ISBN: 9781534301412, Lunar Code 0217IM194) is available at local comic book shops, independent bookstores, Amazon, Indigo, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Waterstones.
We Stand on Guard is also available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
