Also featured in the strip is his family, including his lobsterman father, and his two friends, Spud and Amelia. The comic is about an adventurous young boy named Wallace McLellan who lives in the fictional Rhode Island town of Snug Harbor.

“Wallace the Brave” premiered on the Go Comics website in June 2015.

“I was sitting in a room with a thousand other cartoonists, a lot of people I respect and admire, and I sat there for a second and my editor was like, ‘go, they called you.’ I was on Cloud Nine for a couple days and now it’s back to business as usual.” Wilson, who writes the strip under the pen name Will Henry, won for Best Newspaper Comic Strip at the 73rd annual Reuben Awards presented by the National Cartoonists Society last month in Huntington Beach, Calif. Will Wilson, whose “Wallace the Brave” comic strip has been in syndication since June 2018, is now an award-winning cartoonist. 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.Will Wilson with his award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip at the 73rd annual Reuben Awards presented by the National Cartoonists Society. Mostly we see the world of the strip through Wallace's 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. There's Dad, a fisherman, Mom, a gardener, their almost feral young son Sterling, who never met a bug he wouldn't eat, and his older brother Wallace, a rambunctious, imaginative kid big on exploring. Think 'Peanuts' if Charlie Brown were less of a mope or 'Calvin & Hobbes' if Calvin weren't a bit of a psychopath.

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.
