Characteristics
Full name Hot Stuff

Hot Stuff the Little Devil is a comic book character who first appeared in Hot Stuff #1, published by Harvey Comics in October 1957. Imbued with a mischievous personality and able to produce fire, Hot Stuff appears as a vermillion red, child devil who wears baby diapers (said to be made of asbestos) and carries a magical pitchfork. However to the consternation of his demonic brethren, Hot Stuff often likes to perform good deeds to irritate them.

Created and first drawn by Warren Kremer, Hot Stuff has appeared in at least eight comic book titles and multiple back-up stories from 1957 to 1994, but the character has not been published in comics since then.

Warren Kremer and Howard Post were the artists who helped define the look of Hot Stuff, drawing many comic book covers and stories over the years.

Unlike the other main characters in the Harvey universe like Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch, who crossed over into one another's stories, Hot Stuff was written with a strong tendency to remain separate, in his own world.
