Warren, the Forgotten Ghost

Just reported this week, Warren Kremer, a cartoonist for Harvey Comics who created Richie Rich and transformed Casper into the Friendly Ghost, died July 24 at the age of 82. That Kremer's passing went unnoticed for so long is hardly surprising, given his 35 years of toil for lowly Harvey Comics, which in the world of comic books is the Fredo to Marvel and DC's Michael and Sonny. Kremer also created the Hot Stuff baby devil icon, so popular at the Shore Mall Tattoo Parlor.
