Dennis the Menace Annual

The Dennis the Menace Book was first published by DC Thomson in September 1955, dated 1956. It was published every two years until 1978 (the 1966 book being the first to carry a cover date), then disappeared until 1983 before resuming bi-annual publication. From 1987 it became an annual publication, and it was finally renamed The Dennis the Menace Annual in 2003. The books/annuals published in 1994, 1995, 1997 and 2007-2009 were all actually titled Dennis the Menace & Gnasher, while the 2010-2011 annuals were simply titled Dennis & Gnasher Annual. No annual was published for 2012.

Two other books in the annual format starring Dennis the Menace have also been published, Dennis the Menace 1951-2001 (a collected edition published in late 2000 to celebrate Dennis's 50th Anniversary in print) and Dennis & Gnasher & Friends Cartoon Capers (also published in 2000).
