Dennis the Menace #36

Dennis is at it again — the cover by Al Wiseman captures our freckle-faced troublemaker kneeling in a spectacular mess of mud, scorched goo, and a runaway garden hose, cheerfully wielding what looks like a soldering iron over a smoldering tray, while an adult woman in heels recoils in the doorway behind him. With a story titled "Dennis vs Dirt," this 1959 Hallden/Fawcett issue promises the kind of gleeful domestic chaos that makes Dennis the Menace such an enduring delight.
