Spooky the Tuff Little Ghost is a fictional character that appeared in titles published by Harvey Comics. Spooky first appeared in Casper the Friendly Ghost #10 (June 1953). He is Casper's cousin, although their exact relation is never specified. He is, for the most part, the splitting image of Casper, except for freckles, a derby hat, and a large, black nose.
Overview
Spooky is written with a Brooklyn accent, for example calling his girlfriend and fellow ghost Pearl, "Poil." His iconic derby hat is, therefore, a "doiby." Although he shares traits with The Ghostly Trio as far as loving to scare the living and being somewhat of a tough guy jerk, he isn't as cruel to his cousin as the Trio is, though he does make fun of him occasionally for being friendly.
Pearl, who fell in love with Spooky when he rescued her from captivity by abusive witches in one comic-book issue, is always trying to stop him from scaring, by reprimanding him, keeping an eagle eye on him, staying with him all day, threatening to break up with him, or dating other ghost-guys. (Whenever she does, she always ends up finding fault with her new date and thinking Spooky is better by comparison, so she returns to him.) So Spooky is always finding ways to keep scaring in secret, sometimes by making it appear that someone else did it.
After several appearances in Casper the Friendly Ghost, Spooky moved to several spin off titles, including Spooky Spooktown (1961–76), Spooky Haunted House (1972-75) and Tuff Ghosts Starring Spooky (1962–72). The original ran until #161 in September, 1980.
Appearances in other media
Spooky is part of the 1963 animated television series The New Casper Cartoon Show, which ran from 1963 to 1969.
In 1996, after the success of the 1995 Casper feature film, a new animated show, Casper, premiered on Fox Kids. Spooky was voiced by Rob Paulsen. In the 2000 computer-animated movie Casper's Haunted Christmas, his voice was done by Samuel Vincent.
