And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is the original production cover for Richie Rich #17, published by Harvey Comics in May of 1963. It features the classic Warren Kremer yachting/sail boating image, with Richie front and center. Most of the main images are printed photostats (Richie and the left and right side of the yacht), with original art drawn in the middle of the yacht, and at the very bottom some small lines added. There is also a piece added with the smoke from the smoke stack that looks to be hand-drawn, and also some of the ocean waves and the line tethering Richie’s canoe to the yacht looks to also be hand-drawn with some whiteout added. This may all be clear from the picture, but we thought we should point it out just in case it’s not. The piece is on bristol board kind of paper which measures approximately 10″ by 14 1/4″. There is general wear to be expected, with a crease line that goes across the top, and also minor glue stain remains where the logo is missing (this is common, as Harvey generally re-used the logos, so most covers don’t have them). The piece displays nicely, and is a really early cover, which are very hard to find at this point. Although published in May of 1963, it has a date stamp on the back of “Nov 19 1962″, so like we said, it’s a real early one and a classic image to boot! This is an amazing piece that would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed, and would be an outstanding addition to any RR collection. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1960’s, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology. We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc. This item is a genuine proof from the’60’s, not something made for a reprint.
