Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace 1951-1952 A couple of years ago, comic book and book publisher Fantagraphics started a series to reprint every Peanuts strip ever drawn by Charles Schulz. These books are beautifully designed and are printed on high quality paper, which makes it much easier to appreciate Schulz's drawing style.

Now Fantagraphics is giving the same treatment to Hank Ketcham, creator of Dennis the Menace. As much as I like Schulz's work, I think Ketcham is better in almost every way. His deceptively loose drawing style is highly praised by all my favorite cartoonists. In fact, Ketcham is considered my many to be the cartoonist's cartoonist. As a bonus, a large percentage of the comics in this 624-page (!) book are laugh-out-loud funny.
