Product Overview
Hand made limited edition Screen print on mould made, cotton paper - Mounted with a plain black wooden frame and ready to hang.
Signed and numbered out of 200 in pencil by the printer, John Patrick Reynolds
To celebrate Dennis the Menace’s 65th birthday, John Patrick Reynolds has produced this screenprint of the very first strip, from The Beano issue dated 17 March, 1951.
He doesn’t yet have his trademark red and black striped football jersey, but the shock of black hair and nobbly knees are there. And the joke is quite a neat one – that Dennis is actually more in need of restraint than the family dog.
This strip was drawn, incidentally, by David Law, who carried on drawing the character for twenty years until his death in the late 1960s.
Since Dennis’s debut, he has become a kind of national mascot An unmistakable character which we have treasured throughout the years
