I got to page 40 and then I was already already looking at the page count and dreading the fact I still had 140+ pages to go before I was finished. But sadly, it was also terribly boring, and it tried just a bit too hard to be funny, and failing at that. There were good moments, oh yes, there were. The blurb and the cover did shout: “Read this book!” So I obliged, though I wish I hadn’t. I never heard of Wallace the Brave, but I was curious when I spotted this book over on Netgalley. He draws his inspiration from everyday life and in the age of the smart-phone, he aims to re-create a world in which kids “still collect bugs and fly kites and eat ice cream cones upside-down.” He lives in Rhode Island with his wife, his cat, and his mistress, the sea.I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. His professional career began with his strip Room Mates, which was published in The Daily Campus during his time at the University of Connecticut. Will Henry is the creator behind Ordinary Bill and Wallace the Brave, both distributed on. NPR Nominated for two Eisner Awards : Best Publication for Kids (ages 9-12) and Best Humor Publication. The Huffington Post “The world of childhood depicted in the strip is a timeless, outdoorsy one reminiscent of strips like Calvin & Hobbes and Cul De Sac…” “ Wallace the Brave is a little taste of classic comics from the past.”
Wallace lives in the quaint and funky town of Snug Harbor with his fisherman father, plant loving mother and feral little brother, Sterling.
Welcome to Snug Harbor! Will Henry’s Wallace the Brave is a whimsical comic strip that centers around a bold and curious little boy named Wallace, his best friend Spud and the new girl in town, Amelia.
