From his humble beginnings as a back-up strip in the Little Dot comics, Richie Rich grew into Harvey Comics' most recognizable character during the 1960s-1970s. He never quite abandoned his funnybook roots as a humor character, but evolved into an action/adventure hero before the Harvey line was ended in the mid-1980s.
Today's tale is a fair example of what the typical adventure would consist of; an easily solved mystery, a disposable villain, and a whimsically childish blend of sci-fi and fantasy that's rarely seen anymore.
from RICHIE RICH VAULT OF MYSTERY #3, March 1975
