A late-Bronze Age entry from Harvey’s flagship rich kid, showcasing the character’s enduring all-ages appeal.

Published by Harvey Comics in July 1978.
Written by Sid Jacobson, penciled by Ernie Colón, inked by Al Milgrom, colored by Ben Brown, with cover art by Ernie Colón.
In this issue of Richie Rich’s long-running “Jackpots” series, the world’s wealthiest boy encounters a new series of lighthearted misadventures that test both his ingenuity and generosity. Balancing extravagant inventions, unusual travel destinations, and encounters with scheming opportunists, the stories emphasize Richie’s trademark humility and moral compass despite his limitless resources. As part of Harvey’s prolific 1970s output, this issue reflects the publisher’s commitment to clean, accessible storytelling and remains a representative example of the era’s newsstand dominance in youth-oriented comics.

Bluntman Big Blast – Diamond Select Toys
A bold, over-the-top collectible inspired by Kevin Smith’s comic-within-a-comic superhero satire.
———————————————————————————————
Produced by Diamond Select Toys, the Bluntman Big Blast action figure brings the exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek world of Bluntman & Chronic into physical form. Sculpted in Select scale (approximately 7 inches), the figure features Bluntman’s unmistakable long coat, domino mask, and confident, chest-out superhero stance that leans into parody while still feeling premium.
The highlight of the figure is the oversized “Big Blast” accessory, a perfectly absurd nod to the character’s unapologetically crude sense of justice. Detailed sculpting, crisp paint applications, and solid articulation make this figure ideal for dynamic posing or stylized toy photography. It’s less about realism and more about attitude—making it a standout piece for Kevin Smith fans, pop-culture collectors, and anyone who appreciates comics that don’t take themselves too seriously.
