Richie Rich #76

Only Richie Rich could turn a Arctic dog-sled run into a poolside vacation — here he lounges in swim trunks, sunglasses, and a pink cushion atop the sled, soda bottle in hand and a portable radio playing tunes, while a bundled-up local resident pushes from behind and a team of sled dogs charges ahead across the ice. Warren Kremer's cover art for this December 1968 Harvey Comics issue perfectly captures the gentle absurdity that made "The Poor Little Rich Boy" such a delight, pairing a frozen wilderness with all the creature comforts Richie's fortune can provide. It's a wonderfully silly snapshot of the character's charm — wealth so effortless it turns even the tundra into a first-class resort.
