Peter Venkman

Peter Venkman is a founding member of the Ghostbusters, the wisecracking parapsychologist who helps lead the team of supernatural investigators battling ghosts and otherworldly threats alongside Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, and Winston Zeddemore.

A familiar name to any pop-culture fan, this Peter Venkman turns up in the IDW corner of the comics universe, debuting in Larry Welz's Cherry #13 in 1995 and popping up across a surprisingly eclectic stretch of titles through 2020. With just six catalog appearances, he's a rare find, but those issues place him in vivid company — sharing pages with the likes of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and even Raphael and Donatello in the crossover fun of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles / Ghostbusters 2. A modern-age curiosity with a recognizable name and an offbeat publication history, he's the kind of character that makes digging through back issues genuinely rewarding.
