The poor little rich kid is about to make comic book readers’ lives a little richer! Ape Entertainment and Classic Media have signed a deal to bring Richie Rich back to comics in an all-new series that will update the concept, transforming Richie Rich into a globetrotting adventurer who uses his limitless wealth for good. Part James Bond, Jr., and part Indiana Jones, with Donald Trump’s bank account, Richie Rich helps the less fortunate with the assistance of. With his close-knit team of friends, including an updated supporting cast.
“We are excited to partner with Ape Entertainment for a reimagining of Richie Rich,” Karyn Schneider, VP, Licensing, Classic Media, said. “Richie is a long-standing star of the comic book world and we look forward to adding new adventures to his story.”
“Everyone inside the Ape HQ grew up a Richie Rich fan,” Ape Entertainment founder and co-publisher Brent E. Erwin said. “What we’re hoping to do with the property now is update it with a contemporary spin and bring even more action and intrigue to the original stories we all grew up on.
“While there will be plenty of adventure, there will also be plenty of fun. Ape is by no means reinventing the wheel, just adding another spoke. And in the words of Richie Rich, you can take that to the bank!”
The first issue of Richie Rich will appear in early 2011 under Ape’s KiZoic all-ages imprint.
