Richie Rich Success Stories #59

Harvey Comics' "Poor Little Rich Boy" gets the full Hollywood treatment in this December 1974 issue, as the cover shows Richie Rich striding down a dollar-sign-studded red carpet toward a glittering theater marquee announcing "The Richie Rich Story" — complete with a tuxedoed doorman and an enthusiastic crowd behind searchlights. It's a charming, self-aware bit of fun that captures the playful grandeur Harvey brought to its flagship character throughout this era. With "Smash Hit Stories" promised inside — including the wonderfully titled "Anybody Who Goes To A Psychiatrist Ought To Have His Head Examined!" — this 25-cent issue delivers the lighthearted, money-tinged humor that made the series a staple of 1974 spinner racks.
