From the Archive: Beware of Dennis Art Print

Beware of Dennis – Beano Archive art print

Amazing full colour piece taken from the back cover of the first ever Dennis annual, dated 1956. Dennis has subverted the convention of a kid being scared off by an imposing warning sign, by putting his own creative spin on things.

This picture demonstrates the evolution of David “Davey” Law’s style to portray a more elongated character design.  Gone is the stocky representation of Dennis, replaced with a looser, more gangly art style. Dennis’s last dedicated annual was in 2011, giving his annual a 55 year run, which is longer than any other individual character annual!
