About this deal

In a segment entitled "What's in Cheryl's hair," a menacing-looking girl with pigtails is seen peeking out. Presenting an Exquisite Leather-Bound Edition, expertly crafted by the prestigious organization "Rare Biblio" with Original Natural Leather that gracefully adorns the spine and corners. Although Beryl is often perceived as a troublemaker similar to Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx, her personality changed several times. When creator David Law left the strip, it was taken over by Bob McGrath and later John Dallas, then Robert Nixon. Graded thus only due to a deep crease/mark to the front cover which runs from the base up over Beryl's back leg.

In this strip, she is enjoying the Dandy swimming pool alongside other famous past Dandy characters.

Her costume changed at some point in the mid-1980s from her red top underneath a black dress to a blue and white striped jumper underneath a red dress.

She regained many of her Dennis-influenced traits as well such as the famous "behind the nose" grin and constant scowl. In 1999, the strip was taken over by Ollie Fliptrik artist Karl Dixon as Nixon had to go into semi-retirement due to health problems. Beryl also attended Dennis the Menace's 50th birthday party, although she was a latecomer so she didn't actually participate in any of the party games or fights prior.Product Disclaimer: Kindly be informed that, owing to the inherent nature of leather as a natural material, minor discolorations or textural variations may be perceptible. She reverted to her black and red clothes and her hairstyle became much more like that of Dennis the Menace – but her pigtails remained. Davey Law, her artist and creator, drew inspiration from his daughter, who would often pull faces during her tantrums. It was around this time where the scripts began to take more of a domestic approach, and started to revolve more around Beryl's relationship with her dad. Notably, she was the only Beezer and Topper character to transfer to The Dandy as soon as the former comic folded.
