Biffo is dressed as a lollipop man and holding a sign (which has the name of the book on it), while Dennis, Minnie, Roger, the Bash Street Kids, Three Bears, Billy Whizz, Lord Snooty, Bash Street Pups, The Nibblers (chased by Winston) and Little Plum all rush past him. Front: Dennis and Gnasher are driving their Menace Car through a computer-generated world, trying to escape from an army of weird Beano robots (as there was a story about them travelling to a planet inhabited by them, and destroying them, in the annual). Because of his popularity, Dennis the Menace has appeared on the front cover of every annual since the release of the 1979 book in 1978. Front: The Bash Street Kids are bouncing across a farm on a spacehopper (or a "Super Bouncer", as the book refers to it) that has Dennis's face.

Dennis rides his bike over a river into his Dad's prize apple tree, and all the other characters cheer him on. General Jumbo is controlling the other characters (Dennis, Biffo, Minnie, Roger, The Bash Street Kids, Lord Snooty and The Three Bears) with his radio control, and Danny (from the Bash Street Kids) is holding a red balloon, which has "1967" upon it. Biffo is tossing pancakes, while wearing a chef's hat. Two pancakes have landed on Dennis and Gnasher, and the Bash Street Kids are peering around the door (which suggests that he could have been working in Bash Street School, as the school's cook). This was the last annual to feature Biffo the Bear on the cover, he was replaced by Dennis on the cover starting from 1975. Front: The first completely hand-drawn front cover picture since 1999, with a giant Loch Ness monster (whose face is very similar to Plug's) interfering with all the characters' relaxing swim up at "Loch Mess" (it is obviously a parody of Loch Ness). Front: Dennis is riding on a Gnasher-themed snowboard, while Gnasher himself is laughing in the foreground. This book also marked the 60th birthday of Dennis the Menace with a special logo that was displayed in the bottom-right corner of its front cover.Big Eggo and Koko the Pup are having a pillow fight on a balance beam and it looks like Eggo is going to sneeze. Front: In a parody of "Honey I Shrunk The Kids", several miniature characters are jumping across from Gnasher's nose to Dennis'.

Biffo is holding a glove puppet of Dennis with a club that has hit him over the head (its box says "GLOVE PUPPET, HARMLESS TOY" but it is clearly not). The Bash Street Kids ride on the Iron Fish as it flies over their Teacher (who'd hooked it) in his fishing boat. Front: Dennis is on a skateboard in space powered by new look Beano comics, while Gnasher is in a spacesuit.All the then-current characters are emerging from gigantic eggs with Big Eggo's head peering onto the right side.

Front: Roger (top left), Minnie (top middle), Billy Whizz (top right), the Bash Street Kids (middle left), and Ivy the Terrible (bottom middle). Front: All the characters are at the Beano's 75th birthday street party (this was a reference to all the street parties that were held over the country in 2012 to celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee). Front: Dennis the Menace and Gnasher at Beanotown train station, going to board a high-speed train.

Biffo is acting as General Jumbo with all the other then-current characters acting as the radio-controlled army. Front: Dennis and Gnasher are bouncing on a trampoline (similar to the 1977 annual, but they aren't trying to steal any apples here), while Minnie, Gnipper, Roger, Walter, Danny and Billy Whizz watch them from below. Front: Dennis, Gnasher, and all the other characters (some retired) are flying through space, using special vehicles.
