Richie Rich Fortunes #2
In "The Quest for the Forbidden Fruit," Richie Rich faces a bizarre twist when a mysterious fruit causes Cadbury to inflate like a balloon—then deflate with a pop—before the same strange fate befalls Mr. Rich. Resisting the fruit’s tempting pull, Richie sends them both down the river, where they float into the jaws of hungry hippopotami. A delightfully absurd adventure from Harvey’s 1971 comic, this issue stands out for its surreal humor and whimsical chaos, illustrated in the classic style of the era.
