Netflix has ordered a half-hour comedy series based on Harvey Comics' "Richie Rich", starring actor Jake Brennan ("Dark Skies") who also appeared in the "Fzzt" episode of Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.":
"...to be produced by Awesomeness TV, the new Netflix half-hour comedy series, based on the 1980's Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, will debut in 2015, with 'Richie' having made a trillion dollars from inventing and selling a cool new green technology.
"After he moves into a decked out mansion and instantly starts living the most awesome life ever, the show will cover his adventures with his friends..."
Created in 1953, Richie didn't have his own title until 1960. Once he did, however, he quickly became Harvey's most popular character, eventually starring in over fifty separate titles.
Writers for the "Richie Rich" comic books included Sid Jacobson, Lennie Herman, Stan Kay and Ralph Newman. Richie Rich's most famous illustrator is Warren Kremer.

(Cbr) The classic Harvey Comics character Hot Stuff the Little Devil is making his way toward the big screen. Heat Vision reports DreamWorks Animation has hired sisters Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux, best known for their work on Bob’s Burgers, to write the project, which is rumored to be a live-action/CG hybrid. Created in 1957 by cartoonist Warren Kremer ("Richie Rich", "Stumbo the Giant"), Hot Stuff is a mischievous red demon child who wears a diaper and carries a magical sentient pitchfork. He sometimes performs good deeds, to the annoyance of his fellow devils. DreamWorks acquired Hot Stuff and the other Harvey characters — Richie Rich, Wendy the Good Little Witch, Casper the Friendly Ghost, etc. — when it purchased Classic Media in 2012.

DreamWorks Animation has plans to bring the Harvey Comics character Hot Stuff the Little Devil to the big screen with The Hollywood Reporter suggesting that the project may mark the first-ever live-action/CGI hybrid film from the studio. "Bob's Burgers" scribes (and siblings) Lizzie and Wendy Molyneux are attached to provide the screenplay. Hot Stuff was created by Warren Kremer (who also created vintage funnybook characters like Richie Rich, Little Audrey and Casper the Friendly Ghost) and made his first appearance in 1957's "Hot Stuff" #1. A young, pitch-fork-wielding devil, Hot Stuff often uses his demonic powers to perform good deeds, much to the chagrin of the older devils. There's no timeframe yet on when to expect a Hot Stuff film in theaters, but...

Born in the Bronx in 1921, Warren Kremer had art in his blood—his father was a sign painter. After graduating from the High School of Music and Art and the School of Industrial Arts, Kremer got work with various pulp and aviation magazines. His first comic book work was on Hap Hazard for Ace Publications.
In 1948 Kremer began doing work for Harvey Comics—working with publisher Alfred Harvey and editor Sid Jacobson, Kremer was responsible for creating Richie Rich, Stumbo the Giant, Hot Stuff, and others, and for revising Casper the Friendly Ghost into the character everyone knows today. Kremer worked for Harvey for thirty-five years, many of them as Art Editor but he always contributed art as well.
After Harvey closed in 1982 Kremer did some work for Marvel Comics, creating and drawing characters like Count Duckula, Planet Terry, and Top Dog for their Star Comics imprint.
Sadly, in 1989 a stroke paralyzed his left side,...
