Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace is one of the most successful books in Fantagraphics history, greeted by reviews with praise similar to that garnered by The Complete Peanuts. This third volume of Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace publishes every single panel strip from 1955 and 1956 in one handsome and thick hardcover volume. Ketcham's legendary pen and ink work achieves its full flowering in this volume as do the various situations and themes that Ketcham would return to: the first "split screen" (two-panel strip) that Ketcham would occasionally use; Dennis actually flirts with a girl; he rats Dad out to Mom; exacerbates confrontations between Dad and the police; and stymies hapless baby-sitters. Oh, and Mr. Wilson finally comes front-and-center as Dennis' #1 victim.

"...a hilarious collection that is perfect for longtime fans of the comic or for first-time readers. There's a little menace in all of us; why not laugh at it?" – Washington Examiner
