review:
‘Wallace the Brave’ by Will Henry is a collection of comic strips starring an ordinary boy named Wallace and his friends Spud and Amelia. When I say ordinary, I mean bright, curious, and imaginative.

Wallace lives in the odd little town of Snug Harbor with his mother, father and little brother. His dad is a fisherman, his mother is in to gardening, and his brother seems to have been raised by wolves. Wallace’s friend Spud is just a weird kid. Amelia is the new girl in town and plays the antagonist against Spud. To her credit, Spud does seem to deserve it, mostly.

This feels like the kind of comic strip we haven’t seen for a while. The book also was a Will Eisner nominee for Best Humor Publication and Best Publication for kids age 9-12. I liked the art and the gags tend to be more gentle in nature, which made me really like the humor. Wallace and his friends spend a lot of time outdoors just being kids.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
