Michael Carroll's timeline of Marvel UK comics (here) has an array of interestingly short-lived comics on that I thought I should create cover galleries for them. Sometimes this is easier said than done but let's start off with the 19 issue Dennis comic from 1989/90.
This would have been called Dennis the menace (since it's based on Hank Ketcham's US comic star) but here in the UK that was obviously a non-starter as an idea. It also makes it really hard to search for!
UPDATED (22/09/06); thanks to friend of the blog Richard Gilham we can now add the covers for issues 16, 17, 18 & 19 to the covers gallery. Just images for covers 8 & 10 to find now!

I'm indebted to Frank Motler for highlighting these two 'Dennis' publications. Any more out there?
150 adventures of The Pickle, Corgi Cartoons, Hank Ketcham
and to friend of the blog Richard Gilham for supplying the images below of issues 1 & 3 of the Dennis special that publishers London Editions produced
Dennis special #1, London Editions
Dennis special #3, London Editions

There are further appearance of Dennis (Mitchell) in the following publications...
an annual from Marvel UK...
UPDATE: I've now found the cover to issue 7. Interestingly the title has been amended from Dennis to Dennis Mitchell (which is the full name of the character - perhaps DC Thomson had been in touch to say the original title was too confusing???)
