Beano Presents: Dennis The Menace And Gnasher Chaos
Comes With Stripes
The ultimate birthday bash for Britain’s cheekiest legend!
This year, Beanotown’s most iconic mischief maker hits a major milestone: Dennis the Menace turns 10 (for the 75th time!). For generations, he’s been tearing through the streets of Beanotown - catapult primed, red-and-black stripes blazing - encouraging kids everywhere to bend the rules, dodge the dull stuff, and embrace their brilliantly bonkers selves.
Alongside Gnasher, his loyal (and permanently hungry) Abyssinian wire?haired tripehound, Dennis guarantees that life in Beanotown is always loud, lively, and completely out of control. And honestly… would we have it any other way?
To celebrate this mega?menacing milestone, Beano brings together 68 pages of pure comic chaos from writer Nigel Auchterlounie and illustrator Nigel Parkinson - the dream team behind Dennis’s wildest adventures. Packed with fun comic strips, high?octane humour, and plenty of gnashing, it’s the ultimate collection for fans new and old.
Get ready: chaos comes with stripes!

Sergeant Moses Rayker, a non?commissioned officer in the US army, first appeared in DC Thomson’s adventure comic Warlord in 1979 and became an instant fan favourite as he took on discrimination and prejudice from Axis and Allies alike. His story continued in the weekly Warlord, annuals and summer specials until 1984. Then, in 2025, Rayker returned for more adventures in Britain’s longest?serving war comic, Commando.

In this collection, his first two rebooted Commando issues are blown up to full graphic-novel size:
In 1944, during a daring escape over the Italian mountains, Rayker and his squad encounter a familiar face. Buford ‘Bubba’ Ballard clashed with Rayker before the war, and Ballard still holds a grudge. Nonetheless, Rayker knows his duty is to escort Ballard past the German checkpoints and safely home. Can both men keep their cool long enough to survive? Or will Rayker end up smacking the tar outta him before they make it back?

Launched as a story paper in Hotspur in 1957, the US Marine who was really a British Royal Marine, became a sensation in DC Thomson’s Warlord comics, with his Union-Jacked helmet gracing the very first cover over fifty years ago in 1974. Then, in 2019, UJJ burst from the sea once more in Britain’s longest serving war comic, Commando. Appearing for the first time since 1991, alongside his steadfast mates, Sean O’Bannion and Sergeant Lonningon, the Limey charges at enemy-held islands and goes head-to-head with Japanese snipers alongside awestruck US marines, eager to get their own piece of the action. If there was one thing the Yanks respected it was guts, and Jack Jackson had that in spades!
