A Richie Rich comic sold for $108,000 last year — more will soon be auctioned off

 
im-70870535?width=700&height=525

Philip Cole’s collection of classic Richie Rich comic books is being auctioned off next month. He is shown here holding his copy of Richie Rich No. 1.

 

Collectors of comic books have long obsessed about Superman, Spider-Man and the broader array of superheroes. And that has led to surging prices for some titles, including sales that have topped $3 million for the rarest ones. 

But now some collectors are turning their attention to an entirely different type of comic-book character and asking the question: Is it possible to get rich off Richie Rich?

Yes, Richie Rich, the character otherwise known as “the poor little rich boy” and the namesake behind a line of kiddie-oriented comic books that were popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Thanks for sharing! Richie Rich #1 and the two Harvey Hits featuring Richie Rich were also on my want list when I picked up the Little Dot #1 posted above. Maybe it's time to start looking again hm

I've never seen a physical reprint but apparently it at least exist in this book. Looks like a compilation of stories. (This site has a pop-up when you first click)

Well sure but technically at least the ladies on Unseen 14 and COC 19 have lungs. The guy on COC 21 is a full skeleton. Really a great cover.
