Harvey Collectors Comics #9

In "The Money Mon$ter," a mischievous robot built for a horror movie goes on a rampage—only not for screams, but for cash. When Mr. Rich’s creation develops a craving for money, it’s up to Mrs. Rich to take matters into her own hands, wielding a rake and a sharp wit to put the monster back in its place.

In "Meets el Presidente," the tiny, chaotic nation of Esquina takes a wild turn when its ambassador kidnaps Richie, hoping to extort ransom from Mr. Rich to fund a war against neighboring Caramba. With a series of botched coups and escalating absurdity, Mr. Rich sets out to rescue his son—before the whole situation spirals even further out of control.

In this whimsical 1976 gem from Harvey Collectors Comics #9, young Richie dreams big: he wants to send his allowance to help build industries in Third World countries, but first he’ll need a tugboat and a barge to haul his massive sack of cash across the ocean.

In "The Sleep Walkers Part I," Mr. Rich’s latest invention—wakefulness pills—promises nonstop productivity, but when his son Richie notices his father’s strange behavior after days without sleep, the line between work and madness starts to blur. Written with playful wit and drawn in a delightfully zany style, this short tale spins a lighthearted yet oddly unsettling story about the price of never resting.

In "Dream On! [The Sleep Walkers - Part 2]," Richie and his friends plot a wild scheme to free Mr. Rich from his no-sleep pills after witnessing his bizarre personality shifts—only to wake up realizing it was all a dream. The story unfolds with the kind of zany energy that defines the Harvey Collectors Comics series, blending childhood imagination with gentle humor.
