Richie Rich #167

Only Richie Rich could turn a simple flashlight into a wealth-themed gadget — cover artist Warren Kremer shows the bow-tied billionaire boy gleefully aiming his golden "cashlight," which projects a giant glowing dollar sign, while a bewildered Gloria looks on in her plaid skirt and paper crown. It's a perfectly charming snapshot of the cheerful absurdity that made Harvey Comics' "Poor Little Rich Boy" such a staple of 1978 newsstand racks. This issue also announces that Richie Rich is now a monthly title, making it a fine moment to jump aboard.
