Description

A visual celebration of one of the most dynamic and imaginative comics since Calvin and Hobbes, this deluxe hardcover treasury celebrates includes every Wallace the Brave Sunday comic strip from 2018-2024, featuring original watercolors, character art, maps, and an introduction by the author.

This book celebrates the artistic achievement of Will Henry and presents the Wallace the Brave universe in vivid color, the first ever book edition that presents his Sunday comics in their original, large format. Henry's illustration and storytelling in the daily Wallace the Brave comic strip and books have earned multiple Eisner Award nominations and Reuben awards for the Best Newspaper Comic Strip and Cartoonist of the Year. As NPR's Glen Weldon writes, "The world of childhood depicted in the strip is a timeless, outdoorsy one reminiscent of strips like Calvin & Hobbes and Cul De Sac, both of which Henry cites as influences."

Author Bio

Will Henry is the creator behind Wallace the Brave, which earned the National Cartoonist Society's Newspaper Comic Strip of the Year award in only its second full year of syndication. Will draws his inspiration from everyday life, and in the age of the smartphone, 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 Jamestown, Rhode Island, with his wife, two children, his cat, and his mistress, the sea.
