7Harvey Comics was a publisher that is best remembered for the children's comic books it published in the latter half of the 20th century (many of which featured a young protagonist with some kind of special "hook" ... being a ghost, being a witch, being rich, etc.). Its most popular characters were WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost, whom it acquired from Creator/{{Paramount}}, and ComicBook/RichieRich. It also published a whole bunch of [[UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks Golden Age]] superhero comics, horror comics, romance comics and even ComicBook/ArchieComics-style teen comics. Currently, Harvey Comics' properties are owned by [[Creator/{{NBC}} NBC]][[Creator/{{Universal}} Universal]] through its [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation [=DreamWorks=] Classics]] unit. However, the Harvey Comics' superheroes are in the hands of their creators.
