In the early 1950s, Harvey Comics was finally starting to find its niche, discovering that oddball kid characters, each of which could be fully summarized in a single phrase, seemed to work for them. When, in 1953, they gave Little Dot (the girl who likes polka dots to the point of obsession) her own comic, they created a couple of new back-up features for it — Little Lotta (the girl who eats all the time) and Richie Rich (the boy with limitless money).

Alfred Harvey, one of the owners of Harvey Comics, lays claim to the creation of Richie Rich. But this may be like John Goldwater's claim of having created Archie or (most likely) Ashton Collins's of Reddy Kilowatt — a lot of credit being given to an authority figure who made a general suggestion, rather than the working writers and artists who actually fleshed out the character. Warren Kremer, who is responsible for much of the "look" of Harvey Comics from the 1950s on, makes a more credible claim of having created the character.
In 1957, the publisher decided to try Richie out for his own comic, and devoted the third issue of Harvey Hits (November, 1957) to him. (Harvey Hits, like DC's Showcase, functioned as a proving ground, where series could be tested before receiving their own comics.) The experiment was repeated six issues later, but it seems not to have been a wild success. Those were the only comics Richie starred in during the 1950s
