Dennis the Menace (Giants)

    (Fawcett, 1955-1970)
™ and ©1966 Fawcett Publications, Inc.

These giant-sized specials were produced more or less quarterly for almost fifteen years between 1955 and 1969. That was the heyday for Dennis the Menace, an innocently mischievous kid whose antics continually threatened to drive his parents to distraction. Dennis is definitely the product of a less jaded era. The “menace” part of his name is due more to youthful high spirits than to any malevolent intention. His parents were continually exasperated by him, underneath, one suspected that they were just as charmed as the reader was.

Along with the various Christmas and summer specials, many of the issues of this series followed Dennis and his family as they went on vacation. These vacation specials made a point of mixing education with hilarity, pointing out the historic and cultural landmarks that Dennis visited.

This series was continued as Dennis the Menace Bonus Magazine Series.
