Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace 1953-1954
When I interviewed Love and Rockets co-creator Jaime Hernandez, he told me that he loved Hank Ketcham's work. He blurbed this insanely fat book of Dennis the Menace single panel gag strips (every one from 1953 and 1954, a prime period) by saying, "I've learned more from a single panel of Dennis the Menace than a six month art course."
The art is a joy to behold, but the comics are also laugh-out-loud funny. Ketcham was really good at summoning his inner fiver-year-old. $16.47 on Amazon

theres two dennis the menace comic strips, one in the us and one in the uk, and also they premiered the same week, and are both about trouble-causing kids. all of this is coincidence.
Hey Mark,
Speaking of Hank Ketcham, I've set up a blog about Al Wiseman (who worked on the 50's and 60's Dennis comics and early Sunday strips):
