Richie Rich #66

The cover of this 1968 Harvey Comics issue says it all — a towering, multi-tiered birthday cake bears the words "Happy Birthday Richie" while a delighted crowd of kids climbs, scrambles, and celebrates all over its frosted layers, as Richie Rich himself skips gleefully in the foreground amid a shower of confetti and colorful balloons. Warren Kremer's cover art captures the cheerful, over-the-top excess that makes Richie's world so endearing, with the sheer scale of the cake perfectly summing up what it means to be "the poor little rich boy." A fun snapshot of Harvey Comics at its most festive, this issue also promises adventure inside with "Richie Rich and the Vanishing Vehicles.
