Richie Rich #214

In "Bank King," Richie Rich finds himself accidentally trapped inside a bank branch after his allowance gets stuck in a deposit chute. Stranded and mistaken for an advertising robot, he's forced to think fast when two crooks break in—turning his predicament into an unexpected chance to play hero as "Deposit Man."

When Mr. Rich builds a moat around the vaults to stop the latest string of robberies, he’s surprised the crooks don’t care—until a crocodile, already waiting in the water, proves to be the real deterrent.

In "Beauty Duty," Mayda tries a new approach to winning Richie's heart by entering Mr. Rich's beauty products factory to test its latest gadgets—only to find her attempt at glamour quickly spirals into chaos. Written by a longtime contributor and illustrated with playful flair, the story captures Mayda’s over-the-top effort with a mix of humor and heart, all set in the whimsical world of the Rich family’s eccentric empire.

In "Chef's Supper-Rise," Richie and his family's playful teasing about Pierre’s cooking takes a turn when the chef misunderstands their jokes as genuine criticism—leading him to doubt his own hearing and feel hurt. With the tone light and the stakes small, the Riches must find a way to clear the air before the kitchen gets any more heated.

In "It's a Gift," Gloria is both amused and annoyed when she sees a movie where an actress playing her receives lavish gifts from Richie—played by a different actor. When she insists on owning a copy, Richie happily obliges, handing her not just the film but a gold-plated, diamond-studded projector, much to her surprise.
