notes: label: Description
content: “Richie Rich Success” : This comic contains several short stories on the adventures of Richie Rich and his friends. The cover shows Richie Rich, dressed in a black and white suit with a red bowtie, discovering money that is enclosed in a fortune cookie. The backdrop is an Asian server dressed in a silver suit with a black bowtie, and behind him is a circular wall decoration with a black writing in the center that seems to resemble a Chinese character. In the first story, Richie Rich is on a quest to find a missing pearl for his mother’s necklace. He takes a jet to a “certain South Sea Island” with his chauffer Cadbury, and brings home a pearl hours later. Here, fortune cookies and pearls are used as a tie to a “certain South Sea Island”, though this island’s identity remains obscure.
