Harvey Classics Volume 2: Richie Rich Worth the Read

Step aside, Uncle Scrooge, because the comic book world is about to celebrate its wealthiest character in grand style. Richie Rich, the Poor Little Rich Boy, originally conceived by Harvey Comics, embodied the dreams and desires of every young comic book enthusiast growing up during the vibrant decades of the 1960s and 70s. Now, Dark Horse Comics proudly presents the ultimate homage to this iconic character who seemingly possesses everything under the sun.

This expansive compilation serves as a treasure trove of the quintessential Richie Rich stories, many of which are seeing the light of day for the very first time. Created by the ingenious minds of Sid Jacobson and Warren Kremer, Richie Rich made his debut as a backup feature in Little Dot comics back in 1953. Little did anyone know that this young boy of immense affluence would go on to become Harvey Comics’ most lucrative creation, spanning over fifty diverse spinoff titles throughout the following four decades.

The artistic brilliance of Warren Kremer, a true virtuoso in the world of comic art, graced the pages of Richie Rich. However, this wasn’t the character’s only claim to fame. His adventures also received the creative touch of animation luminary Steve Muffatti and the illustrious comics legend Ernie Colon. Richie Rich wasn’t just a character; he was a cultural phenomenon, embodying the dreams, fantasies, and imaginations of generations of comic book aficionados.
