The Ultimate Dennis the Menace Thread 3 3

[A. R.-migration]

Not exactly a Dennis comic, but would anyone have a rough idea of what the markup would be on a 1981 Mercedes 300TD owned by Hank Ketcham at the time of his death? The service manual for the vehicle has his handwriting in it and it was purchased at his estate sale.

 

Thanks,

 

A. R.

Amazon lists Hank Ketcham's Complete Dennis the Menace 1959-1960 (Vol. 5) as coming out on Dec. 1, 2008. Here's the listing: http://www.amazon.com/Ketchams-Complete-Dennis-Menace-1959-1960/dp/1560979666/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214325342&sr=1-1

 

And the cover:

 

 

They also now have vol. 4 for $8.39, and Where's Dennis for $11.65.

That's an interesting item. My copy of #11 has the seal.

 

This would make more sense if it was the first issue with the seal and they added it partway through the print run, but the seal started with issue 9's cover.

 

I've added this factoid to the GCD for this issue (now that I'm an editor there).

I just listed a big stack of Dennis comics on eBay, including most issues from about #23 to #119. Condition ranges from about Good to Very Good/Fine on a couple, and most of the Wiseman era books are listed as invididual lots, with the later issues bundled together in small lots of 5 to 10 issues per auction.

 

If interested, check the listings out at:

And although I slapped fairly dear Buy It Now prices on most of them, please don't be shy about making an offer on any you see. I'm actually pretty flexible on price.

I am a huge fan of STANDARD Comics, however, I was not aware of PINE Comics. Did Standard become PINE or did PINE pick up Dennis when Standard folded?

 

Good luck with the sales!

thanks,

Ned Pines was the publisher of both Standard and Pines (also Nedor and Better) imprints, so really the same company.

[AtlasFan]

Thanks! (Hmm, speaking of Standard, I see that Jetta is in your wanted line..are you looking to upgrade your collections?)

[143ksk]

Well, yeah since you keep asking about my current copies

This may have been touched on before as I am new to this thread. I'm an OA collectors and would love to find some Dennis art by Wiseman to add to my collection. Does anyone have any idea where to find; or does anyone have any to sell? Thanks, Dan F.

[bronzilla]

Wow!!! You are setting your sites in the Stratosphere!!!

I would imagine those are going to be a nightmare to find, if there are still any around, and the ones that are are probably locked up tight in collections!

Good luck though That would be some way cool art to own!!!

I agree it may be a tall order. But, I'm also one of those guys who doesn't mind digging deep for special art pieces, so you never know....

 

I recently found my large stash of Dennis comics and have been reading them with my 7 year old... who is hooked. It would be nice to add an example to some of my other favorite pieces that I read and enjoyed as a kid. I've managed to find swell examples from Little Archie and Little Lulu (my other two childhood favs that continue to entertain me) and so am hoping to track down a Wiseman... thanks, Dan

My 2 girls love comics from the 50s as well. I found a great '50 comic booknewspaper strip site run by fandom's own Ger Apeldoorn. Great Stuff!
