Richie Rich Jackpots #12

Harvey Comics delivers another delightful slice of over-the-top wealth with Richie Rich Jackpots #12, where the cover shows the "Poor Little Rich Boy" himself cheerfully laying bricks of solid 14K gold as if it were the most ordinary home-improvement project in the world, with stacks of gleaming gold bars piled beside him and his grand estate visible in the background. Along the left edge, portrait thumbnails remind readers that Little Dot, Little Lotta, Cadbury, and Mr. Rich are all along for the fun inside — true to the issue's promise that "Every Story a Winner!" At just 25 cents in 1974, this anthology offered a wonderfully absurd mix of characters and the kind of cheerful, impossible-riches humor that made Harvey Comics such a joy.
