Oh, and Mr. Wilson finally comes front-and-center as Dennis' #1 victim! Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 644 pages, B&W. |

"1959-1960!" Story and art by Hank Ketcham. We finish the 1950s and surge into the 1960s! At this point Ketchman's graphic design sense, prwtty much flawless to begin with, has attained a degree of virtuosity unparalleled in comic strip history. Each page is a master class in drawing, design, and (even within a single panel) storytelling... and of course the rambunctious mischievousness of Dennis (and the long-suffering patience of his parents, Margaret, the Wilsons, and assorted other victims) never ceases to charm, delight, and amuse. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 6 1/2-in., 672 pages, B&W. |
