☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume in NBM's series reprinting the classic Dennis the Menace comic books collects issues from the original 1950s-1960s run, showcasing the mischievous boy's suburban adventures as illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald and written by Fred Toole. The collection captures the humor and charm of the cult-favorite newspaper strip's comic book incarnation, featuring Dennis's trademark chaos with his parents, Mr. Wilson, and his friends.
In "Everything's Beachy," Dennis the Menace and his loyal dog Ruff trade winter for summer in a whimsical twist, though their adventure begins with a snowy detour inspired by a dad's tale of St. Bernards. With a gas can around Ruff’s neck and a sense of purpose, the duo sets out on a mission that leads to a surprising hamburger purchase. Written by Fred Toole and illustrated by Owen Fitzgerald, this charming tale captures the spirit of mischief and heart with a distinctive, nostalgic flair. The cover, also by Owen Fitzgerald, perfectly frames the playful energy of the story.
In "The Snow Hound," Dennis the Menace gets a wild idea after hearing about St. Bernards from his dad—so he rigs Ruff with a gas can and sets out to be a snowy hero. When the duo’s antics lead to a surprising payoff, Ruff earns a dollar and heads straight for a burger.
In "Real Cool," the Mitchell family tries to stay cool in the summer heat by imagining themselves doing wildly unseasonal things—like skiing on the lawn and setting up a Christmas tree—until George’s sudden, vivid daydreams make Martha wonder if he’s lost his mind.
