Dennis the Menace Giant #4

A "Giant Vacation Special" from Pines Comics in 1957, this oversized 100-page issue delivers all-new stories, puzzles, and cut-outs for summer fun. The cover by Hank Ketcham shows Dennis buried under an avalanche of colorful travel stickers — New Orleans, Miami, New York, Carmel by the Sea, and more — tumbling off a well-traveled suitcase while he grins with unmistakable mischief. It's a cheerful, energetic snapshot of a kid who's clearly been everywhere, and the pages inside, written by Fred Toole and drawn by Al Wiseman, promise plenty more of his irrepressible charm.
