Dennis The Menace’s Evil Twin
Blonde-haired brat, Dennis the Menace debuted in American newspaper on March 12, 1951. Three days later, the “Beano” newstand comic book in England debuted a brown-haired brat, Dennis the Menace, on March 15, 1951! Golly, Mr. Wilson!

the beano dennis is the one i grew up reading. The first time i saw the american dennis, who didn’t even look very menacing, i was really confused, and couldn’t work out what had happened.
The UK Dennis the Menace is far superior to the US Dennis!
You should try and hunt down some of the Beano issues fromt he late 60′s early 70′s
never read any of the beano dennises. with your guys comments now i’m intrigued. if anybody wants to email me some choice examples i’ll post them. thanks.-craig
