Vanessa Van Dough

A fixture of Harvey Comics' gleaming, gold-plated world, Vanessa Van Dough made her debut in the Bronze Age pages of Richie Rich Gold and Silver #14 in 1977, rubbing elbows with the likes of Richie Rich, Gloria Glad, and the Van Dough clan across a run that stretched into the early 1990s. Her appearances are concentrated in the beloved digest format that Harvey fans will know well — those compact, treasure-packed little volumes like Richie Rich Digest Magazine and Richie Rich Digest Stories that were perfect for young readers. With a surname shared by other Van Doughs in Richie's orbit, she's woven into the social fabric of comics' most opulent universe, a supporting player in a world where fortunes are measured in swimming pools full of coins.
