Richie Rich Vaults of Mystery #39

The cover of this 1981 Harvey issue sets up a genuinely intriguing scene: Richie Rich and his faithful butler Cadbury peer through a crack in the wall, wide-eyed as they spot a mysterious silhouetted figure commanding a gang of criminals surrounded by bags of stolen loot. Richie's exclamation — "Oh, my gosh! Look, Cadbury! Look who's the leader of the gang!" — promises that the identity of the mastermind behind "The Big Crime Wave" tearing Richville apart is a genuine surprise. It's a fun, suspense-tinged setup that blends Richie Rich's signature charm with a little old-fashioned mystery.
