Richie Rich #81

When Richie Rich accidentally knocks himself unconscious while saving a child from street toughs in Paris, he wakes up with no memory—only to find himself drawn into the very gang he was trying to stop. With Cadbury on his tail to keep an eye on things, Richie is introduced to the gang’s enigmatic leader, Arachnid, the Spider of Paris.

In "The Danger Grows," Richie finds himself caught in a high-stakes heist when Arachnid and his gang, now including him, infiltrate Mr. Rich’s Paris hotel to steal 50 million dollars in cash. Tensions flare when a jealous Le Shiv attacks Richie, sparking a brawl with Cadbury and setting off alarms, forcing a frantic escape. As the gang flees, Arachnid’s fury turns on Le Shiv—only for the thief to expose Richie’s true identity using a stolen photo, turning the mission into something far more personal.

In "The Spider's Web," Arachnid kidnaps Richie Rich and demands a billion dollars in ransom, holding him at a hotel while Mr. Rich prepares to comply. When Richie and his loyal butler Cadbury manage to escape, the chase is on—Arachnid vanishes into the city’s sewers, with the pair and the police in pursuit through the dark, twisting tunnels.
