A HERO IS BORN... of money: RICHMAN vs. STREET CRIME

Inside the modest grounds of Richly Manor....


...mild mannered tycoon Pubis Richly holds a board meeting. "The foreign competition is
swooping in Mr. Richly. What do you want us to do?" "Hmmm....." VISAP

"DIP IT ALL IN GOLD!"


"Brilliant!" "We're saved!" "Well done." "Well done." "Mr. Richly, you're a genius."


"Spending billions of dollars is a huge burden.... but somebody's got to do it. Now if you'll 
excuse me gentlemen... I'm going to give myself a raise."

Moments later... "Your raise sir." "Thank you Buttworth." JUMBO VISION TV 24/7

DRUGZ A' DEALIN'!   ROBBERZ!    STICK-UPZ!


"I'M SICK OF ALL THIS GOLD DAMN CRIME!"


And so Pubis Richly forges an expensive disguise...



...and assembles, a costly array of crime-fighting gadgets...


...and also constructs a super-secret hideout that costs a fortune under his mansion. 
"Just a little to the left."

Now, disguised by immeasurable wealth, this new vigilante's true identity is known only to his 
trusty butler Buttworth and faithful dog Billfold. "Brilliant disguise sir." Billfold. "Hungry." "Time 
to save the streets! (some money)"
Meanwhile on the streets: dirty drugs are being dealt. "Allright, I'll deal you some dirty crack." 
"Sounds like a fair deal."

"Cease these illegal activities at once!"


"Man, let's waste this sucker!" "Not so fast drug-dealing foes!" Chick Chick Chick Chick


"Take that!" SNATCH SHING! "And this!" KA-CHING! Pluck! "That clean money ought to 
clean up your criminal ways!" "Whhaaa?"

Elsewhere, burglars attempt a break in. "Hurry up Murray, pick that lock."


"Freeze heathens!" "We're busted!"


"I'm barricading this door with a wall of crisp $100 dollar bills. It's tax free. That oughta stop you 
from breaking in." "huuuuh?"

Down the street, a stick-up has gone wrong. "Drop the gun psycho!" "I just want the purse man- 
so help me I'll blast this beautiful broad full of lead!"

"Not if my pen has anything to say about it!" CHICK CHICK


"Pen?" "Here's a check for two million dollars if you leave this poor woman alone!" 
"Wait- really?" To: Mr. Criminal $2,000,000

"But you must retire from crime and return that woman's purse!"


"Sounds good! See you later suckers!" "Looks like I've cleaned these streets." "Wait- he's 
getting away!"

"Not so fast officers!" CHICK CHICK CHICK CHICK


"Crime doesn't pay... that's my job."


"What?! Just who the hell are you?" "No need to thank me officers. Just call me...."


RICH MAN! The hell?
