Dennis the Menace

A beloved institution of British comics, this Dennis the Menace — D.C. Thomson's irrepressible troublemaker from the pages of The Beano — got a memorable Copper/Modern Age showcase in 1991's The Comic Relief Comic, brought to life by the remarkable pairing of Grant Morrison and Hunt Emerson. With nearly two decades of appearances spanning The Beano, The Beano Annual, and The Beano Super Stars, Dennis is one of the great recurring fixtures of UK comics culture, sharing pages with the likes of Gnasher, Bea, and even the odd crossover guest. Twenty-eight catalog appearances may sound modest, but for a character this deeply woven into the fabric of British childhood, every issue is a piece of comics heritage worth celebrating.
