Hi, I just joined the thread.
I started collecting the DTM comics as a kid in the late 1970s. In 1994, when I was in college, I purchased a copy of issue # 1, from 1953, from a dealer in NJ for $ 100.
It took me until about 2002 to complete my DTM collection. Through ebay, I found the last few Pocket Full of Fun digests that I needed, and Dennis and the Bible Kids # 6 to 10. The "Bible Kids" were impossible to find ! Don't ask what I paid for # 10. That turned out to be the last DTM comic that I needed.
If anyone needs scans of any issues, just let me know. Hopefully, I'll pass these on to my kids one day, and they will appreciate them.
A bit of trivia-- Did anyone else ever notice that on the Washington, DC comic that they changed the artwork between the 1st and 2nd edition ? The original has the page with Dennis meeting JFK and his daughter, Caroline, but the second version (after JFK died) has Dennis speaking with a Secret Service agent.
