The Real Ghostbusters

A spin-off of the beloved animated series, The Real Ghostbusters comic from Atlas Publishing Company ran for 12 issues beginning in 1988, translating the team's paranormal adventures into a monthly, four-color format. With a rotating roster of artists including Ken Steacy, Andrew Pratt, and Gary Fields, the series captured the wisecracking spirit of the cartoon while expanding its ghost-busting mythology for the printed page. It remains a fondly remembered tie-in that gave fans more time with the classic crew just as the franchise was at its peak popularity.
