Who is Stretch?

Stretch is a ghost character from the Casper the Friendly Ghost universe, appearing as part of the ensemble cast of spooky-but-friendly spirits that populated Harvey Comics' supernatural lineup alongside characters like Casper, Spooky, Fatso, and Stinkie.

A ghostly presence from the earliest days of Harvey Comics' beloved Casper universe, Stretch made their debut in 1958 at the dawn of the Silver Age, joining the wonderfully spooky-but-sweet world that enchanted generations of young readers. Sharing panels with icons like Casper, Wendy, Spooky, Fatso, and Stinkie, Stretch was part of a rich ensemble that made Harvey's supernatural lineup so charming and distinctive. Popping up across flagship titles like The Friendly Ghost, Casper, Casper's Ghostland, and TV Casper & Co. over more than three decades, this is a character woven into the very fabric of Harvey's haunted golden era. For collectors who love the warm, whimsical side of Silver Age comics, tracking down Stretch's appearances is a delightful corner of a genuinely cherished publisher's legacy.
