As the proud possessor of every DENNIS THE MENACE book ever printed, I greeted the news that there's to be no regular Dennis book this year with mixed emotions. On the one hand I'm disappointed that his annual escapades have come to an end; on the other I'm somewhat relieved to be able to write 'finis' to a collection which stretches back to the mid-'50s and is now complete.
However, do not despair, fellow Dennis-lovers. D.C. THOMSON's have released this beautifully bound hardback volume showing Dennis at his very best, with comic capers from his earliest appearances in THE BEANO, right up to his modern-day madcap meanderings. (Also includes other features and strips.) What's more, as well as a DVD containing two of Dennis's TV cartoons, the book also includes a separate, good-quality complete reproduction of the very first Beano he appeared in back in 1951.
Dennis may be 60 years old, but he's still the world's wildest boy at heart. Don't miss this superb collectors' item - available now from all good bookshops. Priced at £12.99, it can be ordered direct from DCT for £9.99. Also, some shops are bound to include it in a 'buy one, get one half-price' deal in conjunction with other books, so be sure to shop around.
