10 Awesome Antiheroes From British Comics Creators
9. Dennis the Menace - The Beano
Created in 1951 by editor George Moonie, artists Davey Law and Ian Chisholm, Dennis the Menace is an institution in the UK. He is a typical schoolboy prankster and, along with his dog Gnasher, terrorises his nemesis Walter and the people of Beanotown.
Dennis is a household name now and is one of the most famous characters created by DC Thompson. His roguish antics have made him a loveable, if complicated, character in the British comic scene
Dennis is the protagonist of his comic, but at the end of the day, he is a menace to the people around him, and is not a traditional hero, especially to Beanotown, or its residents.
