    Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost is a fictional character that appeared in titles published by Harvey Comics. Spooky first appeared in Casper the Friendly Ghost #10 (June 1953). He is Casper's cousin, although their exact relation is never specified. He generally resembles Casper except he has freckles, a derby hat, and a large, black nose.

    Spooky is written with a Brooklyn accent, for example calling his girlfriend and fellow ghost Pearl, "Poil". His iconic derby hat is, therefore, a "doiby". Although he shares traits with The Ghostly Trio as far as loving to scare the living and being somewhat of a tough guy, he is not as cruel to his cousin as the Trio is, though he occasionally makes fun of Casper for being friendly, and Spooky has his moments of goodwill.

    Whenever you saw Spooky in the Harvey Comic Books trying to scare someone, you would see the word ‘boo’ in big bold face letters with an explanation mark. He would blow some of the other characters away with his booing like the wind.

    Hello! I'm Gail Nobles! Welcome to Paudio. Today's topic is Hot Stuff the Little Devil. Hot Stuff is a comic book character created by Warren Kremer. Kremer passed away at the age of 82 July 24, 2003. He was born in the Bronx, the son of a sign painter. Kremer counted Alex Raymond/Gordon and Hal Foster Prince Valiant among his influences.

    Hot Stuff first appeared in Hot Stuff # 1 (October 1957), published by Comics. He was one of my favorite comic book characters by Harvey Comics. Hot Stuff is a mischievous little devil. He is able to produce fire. The little devil's appearance is red. He looks like a red child devil who wears a diaper and carries a magical sentient pitchfork (referred to as his “trusty trident”), which is a character in his own right to the consternation of his demonic brother, Hot Stuff sometimes performs good deeds to irritate them.

    I remember when I first saw Hot Stuff the Little Devil in comics downtown to the bookstore. I was already reading Casper. Then I started buying both Casper and Hot Stuff comic books. I would read them to my brother and sometimes we would laugh. I was seven years older than him but we were both children. Hot Stuff would really get fired up in those comic books.

    He would say things like: They say I'm hotheaded and that makes me boiling mad.

    Hot Stuff would be on the pages with fire coming out of his mouth he would make himself disappear.

    Hot stuff would call the sun a fireball. He was hot like fire but there was something hotter than him. When he would go lay on a block of ice, the ice would melt. He couldn't get no satisfaction. Sometimes he would have things running from him like an apple tree with shade. The tree would lose his apples and all hot stuff would do was eat them. That's how Hot Stuff was.You can find the story of that in comic book number one of October 1957.

    I enjoyed myself reading Hot Stuff. I didn't know that the character was created way back then. I missed a lot of comic book issues.

    Well there you have it. Hot Stuff the Lttle Devil and a brief summary of what he is all about.
