Snug harbor stories - will henry

The follow up to the Eisner-nominated collection of Wallace the Brave comics, featuring beautifully illustrated scenes of childhood imagination, friendship, outdoor exploration, and adventure.

Think Peanuts if Charlie Brown were less of a mope or Calvin & Hobbes if Calvin werent a bit of a psychopath.

Wallace The Brave is about a family.

Theres Dad, a fisherman, Mom, a gardener, their almost feral young son Sterling, who never met a bug he wouldnt eat, and his older brother Wallace, a rambunctious, imaginative kid big on exploring.

Mostly we see the world of the strip through Wallaces eyes, a sleepy East Coast beach town called Snug Harbor where the streets are lined with ice cream shops and the beaches are dotted with rocky tide pools .

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.
