The first stories of Northguard appeared in "New Triumph Featuring Northguard" #1-5 published by Matrix Graphic Series between 1984 and 1986. These stories were collected and republished by Caliber Comics in 1989 as the trade paperback "Northguard, Book One: Manifest Destiny". In 1989, Caliber published a 3-issue series "Northguard: ManDes Conclusion". The “Manifest Destiny” and “ManDes Conclusion” arcs were collected and republished by Chapterhouse Comics in 2015 as the "Northguard Compendium". Chapterhouse planned to republish color versions of the original Northguard stories, but only "Chapterhouse Archives: Northguard #1" was ever issued.
