May 1931: The Derrick Devil

Oil wells are being set afire in Los Angeles. Turns out to be a former burglar who is permanently on fire, having been resurrected with some kind of fire spell. Unless he's in the midst of burning oil, he's painfully cold, so he was setting the fires for warmth. Supplying him with fuel oil in exchange for staying in a salt mine is satisfactory to both sides.

The firebug says his boss, John Sunlight, is the one who made him this way.
