Richie Rich #86

Harvey Comics' beloved "Poor Little Rich Boy" returns in this 1969 installment, where the cover by Warren Kremer shows a wide-eyed, worried Richie straining to hold up an enormous, brilliantly glowing gemstone while a bejeweled, elegantly dressed woman in a purple gown looks on with imperious amusement. The sheer size of that dazzling diamond — nearly as big as Richie himself — sets up a wonderfully comic contrast between the tiny, sweating boy and the casually demanding adult. With a story titled "The Incredible Shrinking Boy" promised inside, this issue has a playful, imaginative energy that captures everything fun about Harvey's long-running series.
