Will Henry can sit at his drawing table, pencil in hand, squeezed into the space at the front of his Grapes and Gourmet liquor store, looking out the window from under a neon “beer & wine” sign as children walk along the pier or on the beach beyond.Īnd sometimes, in a way, they walk into his drawing. He is so kind!! So it's nice to know that Will Henry is about as genuine as they come.JAMESTOWN, R.I. After commenting on a Wallace the Brave Facebook post, the artist reached out personally to tell me how much he appreciated knowing that my son was touched by his comic and how much it means to him to know that his comic helped my son enjoy reading. Most importantly, the artist really cares about his readers. He laughs so hard at many of the comics (especially the one where they throw the stale muffin at the hornet's nest).

He has told me many times that he wishes Wallace, Spud and Amelia were his friends in real life. For a solid month he carried this comic book everywhere he went (to school, in the car, to the store, etc).

That is so unlike him, but it makes me so happy. Not only that, my son has read the comic himself, cover to cover, about 3 times now. It is the sweetest and funniest little comic. We read Wallace the Brave together in January, and the entire comic made my child light up!! Together we laughed and laughed. He has really struggled to not only make friends and navigate social situations, but also struggles to find reading material that is engaging. I bought this book for Christmas for my 8 year old son who is autistic. I cannot say enough good things about this comic and the artist! If you are questioning whether to buy the comic, do it!!
