I was in WHSmith today when I came across this brilliant collectors book for the 60th birthday of Dennis the Menace.
In it was plenty of classic Dennis stories from the past 60 years including the brilliant 50th birthday story. The book also come complete with a full facsimile copy of The 1951 Beano that Dennis first appeared in and a DVD with two episodes of the 1996 TV series (Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow and Bathnight Club).
This looks like a brilliant collectors item and a fitting way to celebrate Dennis the Menace's 60th.

Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
im pretty annoyed that i already have all the free stuff you get with it. But still it seems like a good book and i will get it. I should probz get the dennis 50 years one as well but havent got round to it. Im annoyed they didnt have a proper dennis annual this year though but maybe this counts as both the dennis annual and the Beano and Dandy annual this year.
Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
What free stuff? Just like the weekly comics, they hiked up the price. Last years Beano-Dandy retro book was £8.99, this time it's £12.99.
Gilly, broken link, please fix it.

Link fixed. Not Gilly's fault - it looks like phpbb ignores parts of links after close brackets.
Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
Thanks Andy still new to this so wasn't sure if I had entered it in right.
Yes it might be £12.99 but for what you get in the package I think is great value.

Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
The new retro books are more expensive, but they're noticably more lavish, and considerably larger with generous extras, including an a CD and Oor Wullie calendar in the Broons/Oor Wullie one.. Wonder how much the price of these will go down at the Christmas sales?
Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
I've nothing against the price, considering what you're getting. I was just pointing out that the extras aren't "free gifts" like Tin Can said.

Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
I usually just call anything that comes along with a book or comic as free gifts or free stuff even if the price goes up for them. I do it just out of habit and it doesnt necessarilly mean they are actually free.
Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
Yeah that is true they are just part of the overall package
To be fair I can't think of any annual books that have had extras before

Re: Dennis the Menace 60th Book
Me neither, except for the summer annuals (Broons/Oor Wullie one came with playing cards, Beano one and a couple of others had 3D glasses).
