Hot Stuff the Little Devil is a comic book character created by Warren Kremer who first appeared in Hot Stuff #1 (October 1957), published by Harvey Comics.[1] Imbued with a mischievous personality and able to produce fire, Hot Stuff appears as a red child devil who wears a diaper (said to be made of asbestos) and carries a magical sentient pitchfork (referred to as his 'trusty trident'), which is a character in its own right. Much to the consternation of his demonic brethren, Hot Stuff sometimes performs good deeds to irritate them.

Created and first drawn by Warren Kremer, Hot Stuff has appeared in at least eight comic book titles including:
- Hot Stuff Sizzlers (1960)[2]
- Devil Kids Starring Hot Stuff (1962)[3]
- Hot Stuff Creepy Caves (1974)[3]
as well as multiple back-up stories between the periods 1957-1982 and 1986-1991, along with sporadic appearances in other publications during the 1990s and 2000s. The most recent appearance of Hot Stuff was in 2009 with Casper the Friendly Ghost and Wendy the Good Little Witch, when a three-issue comic book miniseries was published by Arden Entertainment called Casper and the Spectrals.
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. Ernie Colón was another major comics artist who drew Hot Stuff.
While Harvey Comics flagship characters Casper the Friendly Ghost, Spooky and Wendy the Good Little Witch often crossed over into each other's stories, Hot Stuff rarely appeared with them. Instead, the little devil would be featured with characters like Stumbo the Giant (created by Warren Kremer and Larz Bourne, and appeared in back-up stories in Hot Stuff comics in 1957), Katnip the cat, Herman the mouse and good fairy Princess Charma. While they often tended to annoy or anger Hot Stuff, their appearances served to further develop Hot Stuff's character.

Legacy and influence[edit]
Hot Stuff the Little Devil is the unofficial emblem for the 108th Field Battery-Royal Australian Artillery and the 407 Long Range Patrol Squadron of the Canadian Forces. He is the mascot for Dysart High School located in El Mirage, Arizona,[citation needed]Eagle Valley High School in Gypsum, Colorado, and Lindhurst High School in Olivehurst, California,[citation needed] and a blue version of Hot Stuff is the logo for Fort Morgan Middle School in Fort Morgan, Colorado. He was the mascot of Joey Harrison's Surf Club in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. He was the inspiration for the logo of the Chicago street gang Satan Disciples.[4]
The Old Jail Museum (Crawfordsville, Indiana) has an image of Hot Stuff on a cell wall as drawn by one of the inmates.
Hot Stuff makes a cameo in a 2014 episode of The Simpsons titled 'Treehouse of Horror XXV', in which he was put in 'Super Hell' for how 'lame' his comics are.[5]
Hot Stuff made an official appearance in a 2020 episode of Harvey Girls Forever!, based on Harvey Comics characters, as a hot sauce mascot.
Film[edit]
DreamWorks Animation is developing a live-action/CGI film based on the character with Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux set to write it. It will be the second[6] attempt for a DreamWorks Animation film to use live-action and computer-animation.[7] It will be the second DreamWorks animated film to feature characters from the Classic Media library; the first being Mr. Peabody & Sherman.
