Warren Kremer (attributed) - Original Cover Art for Little Dot #6 (Harvey, 1953). Harvey mainstay Richie Rich makes his debut cover appearance with this issue of Little Dot. Here, he's alongside Little Lotta, both taking equal billing with Little Dot Polka, in this fabulous cover by Warren Kremer. Richie Rich was introduced as a backup feature in Little Dot #1 (September, 1953) in a story titled, "The Dancing Lessons." It would take until November 1957 and the publication of Harvey Hits #3 for an entire issue to be devoted to the Poor Little Rich Boy, but by then his success was ensured. Since that time, Richie has appeared in over 50 titles bearing his name, for a total of well over 2,000 individual issues, making him the one of the most successful characters in comics history. This fine work is an excellent example of the simple, yet powerful, imagery that has made Harvey Comics so memorable. The art measures approximately 9" x 14" overall, with a 7" x 10.5" image area. There is some slight aging apparent, mostly outside of the inked area, and some minimal white-out usage, but otherwise this work is in excellent condition. The logo and indicia at the top are recent photocopy replacements. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
