Hot Stuff was created in 1957 by Alfred Harvey the publisher Harvey Comics. Hot Stuff managed to spin-off 4 titles till it was cancelled in 1982 and sporadically appeared here and there till 1992. Harvey Comics was a big publishing company till the 80’s were the same old tired gimmicky characters waned and kids lost interest. Dark Horse is printing their third book based on the Harvey classic characters, and Hot Stuff will finally get his turn. Enjoying success with Casper and Richie Rich, Dark Horse is printing a trove of the best stories illustrated by some of the best artists and writers of the time that spun stories of Hot Stuff. I am surprised no pitchforks were marched to the headquarters of Alfred Harvey with the devil connotations of Hot Stuff. It was a devil on an idea and the character is still alive in the underground culture with tattoos, t-shirts and key chains and other illegal paraphernalia . Well he is getting his devil’s due the year from Dark Horse.
