Hot Stuff, the Little Devil #117

In "The Devil and the King of Zam! [Part 1]," Hot Stuff is hired by Count Nazti to eliminate King Mufti of Zam—only to discover the so-called king is actually a young boy caught in a dangerous game of power and deception, with his uncle scheming to seize the throne. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story blends whimsy and intrigue in a fantasy realm where even the smallest ruler can have the biggest secrets.

In a cozy winter tale from *Hot Stuff, the Little Devil* #117, Jo and the villagers of Tinytown try to keep Stumbo warm with a pair of handmade long underwear—only to discover it’s far too itchy. When the knitted solution fails, Stumbo sets off to find a better way to stay cozy, proving that sometimes the simplest problems need the most creative fixes.

In "Some Toys," Stumbo arrives in Tinytown with a sack of giant toys, but the children are too scared to play—until the oversized playthings unexpectedly help drive off a band of invading trolls. The story’s quiet magic lies in how fear and wonder blur, with simple objects becoming unlikely heroes.
