Introduction

 1963 combi. Desperate Dan, Dennis the Menace and his dog Gnasher appear on the ceramic.

Children’s Comics
Mass-produced cartoon strips first began in US newspapers in the early 1900s. The first UK comic was The Dandy in 1937. Comic sales are now surging with web and TV linked revamps. But today’s children also enjoy the old characters. Parents know comics are a way of getting younger children to read so are happy to buy them!
