Devil Kids Starring Hot Stuff #97

Even the Little Devil himself finds crossword puzzles a genuine challenge — on this cover, a thoroughly stumped Hot Stuff lies flat on the ground, pencil in hand, staring down a crossword grid while pink question marks swirl above his head and his trident rests nearby. Harvey's long-running all-ages title delivers its signature charm in this 1980 issue, blending gentle humor with that irresistible red imp who's impossible not to root for. "Blazing Fun for Everyone" is right — there's something quietly delightful about Hell's most lovable resident being defeated not by heroes or angels, but by a vocabulary stumper.
