Joey McDonald

Joey McDonald is a recurring childhood friend of Dennis the Menace, appearing in the long-running humor comic series published by Fawcett/Hallden. An ordinary suburban boy, Joey serves as a young companion in Dennis's mischievous everyday adventures.

Joey McDonald has been a familiar face in the sunny, mischief-filled world of Dennis the Menace since his Silver Age debut in 1958, growing up alongside Dennis Mitchell, Margaret Wade, Tommy Anderson, and the rest of that beloved neighborhood gang across Hallden and Fawcett's long-running series. With appearances spanning an impressive 56 years — from 1959 all the way to 2015 — Joey proved himself one of the most enduring supporting players in this classic American humor comic, popping up in Dennis the Menace, Dennis the Menace Giant, and even the wholesome Dennis the Menace and the Bible Kids. Sixty catalog appearances and a key-issue credit to his name make Joey a rewarding find for collectors who love the warm, all-ages charm that defined this corner of Silver Age comics. If you've ever had a soft spot for the gentler, funnier side of the era, following Joey's adventures is a genuinely delightful rabbit hole to fall down.
