Richie Rich Relics #1 – 1988 is a delightful slice of classic comic nostalgia, bringing back the golden boy of comics in a charming collection that highlights the whimsical, treasure-hunting side of the Richie Rich universe. Published during the later years of Richie Rich’s peak popularity, this issue from Harvey Comics blends adventurous spirit with the familiar light-hearted tone fans of the world’s richest kid have always loved.

In Richie Rich Relics #1, the focus shifts from the usual mansion-bound antics and into a more exploratory narrative, as Richie uncovers lost artefacts, secret vaults, and eccentric inventions from his family's immense fortune-filled estate. Alongside familiar faces like Cadbury, Gloria, and Professor Keenbean, Richie embarks on a series of short tales packed with hidden chambers, mysterious heirlooms, and the occasional mischievous villain. It’s all in good fun, of course, and grounded in the light comedic style that defines the franchise.

The writing stays true to the Richie Rich formula: clever without being cynical, full of upbeat morals, and suitable for readers of all ages. The stories in this issue are especially appealing for those who enjoy episodic, bite-sized adventures with a dash of old-school charm. There's also a notable sense of creativity here, as the relics themselves often come with quirky functions or unexpected consequences that drive the humour and plot.

Visually, Richie Rich Relics #1 carries the clean, iconic Harvey Comics art style — thick lines, expressive faces, and vibrant, solid colours. It’s a visual style that captures the innocence and optimism of late-20th-century children’s comics while still feeling lively and engaging. For long time fans or vintage comic collectors, the artwork alone is a nostalgic treat.

This issue is a standout among the various Richie Rich spin-offs, offering a slightly more adventurous flavour without losing the series’ wholesome heart. A must-have for fans of retro comics, collectors of 1980s Harvey titles, or anyone who appreciates the enduring charm of Richie Rich’s escapades.
