You can’t beat Will Henry’s art, it’s exactly what the text needs and vice versa, each helping the other to the conclusion of the plot. The entire family dynamics centers around fun and laughter and comical situations they get themselves in. OMG I love Spud the best! This graphic novel is sure to make people laugh out loud. I received this book in exchange for my honest review. 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. I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the review is completely based on my own reading experience.“Walace the Brave is a little taste of classic comics from the past.” I highly recommend it to those who like comic strips in general. The book is still available to request on NetGalley (click on the cover page above). It is a fun set of panels, age is no consequence to enjoy this lot. Amelia is part of their trio as they go on adventures both purposeless and purposeful (like to hunt a sasquatch). Spud(friend and sidekick) is more obsessed with food and less neurotic than I remember.
His father and mother seem less tired than the last time I met them and they are a very lovable set of people. Wallace is our central character, his brother Sterling is a little older and in the age of eating anything he can get his hands on. The cast is the same, but a little older and there seems to be a stray seagull that behaves like its part of their gang in a lot of panels (watch out for it!). There is not much of a linear progression in terms of the story and for the most part, you can pick up anywhere by picking a random page but a few have a continuing storyline. The first few panels were nothing special and I have to admit that I was a little disappointed but then the story picks up pace. I reviewed another book by the author: Wallace the Brave by Will Henry and looked forward to getting into this one.
