9. Dennis the Menace - The Beano

Dennis the Menace Beano
DC Thomson

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.
