Imagine the animated REAL GHOSTBUSTERS starring in the second GHOSTBUSTERS movie.

When a movie makes a major profit like Ghostbusters did in the early eighties, you can usually count on Hollywood to make a sequel. One more thing to count on is that when a movie has a science-fiction comedy edge to it as Ghostbusters had, there will be a comic book adaptation.

Both things came to pass when Now Comics adapted Ghostbusters II for comics in this, 1989 mini-series. The Ghostbusters must once again battle the supernatural forces that threaten New York City. This time, not only New York is in danger, but the life of a baby hangs in the balance. The series carries on the tradition of wacky comedy that the original movie possessed.

Synopsis:
Five years after the Gozer bust, the Ghostbusters have been shut down for the amount of damage done to the Shandor Building. Unfortunately, Dana needs their help once again as her baby carriage with her son, Oscar, had taken off down the street by itself and stopped in the middle of First Avenue. The Ghostbusters eagerly investigate and tunnel their way through First Avenue to discover a river of slime flowing underneath the streets!


The movie “Ghostbusters,” starring Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Rick Moranis, and others was one of the most enjoyable films of the early 1980s. The Ghostbusters were a team of parapsychologists who decided to form the astral equivalent of an exterminator service. If your house, castle, or office building was haunted, a call to the Ghostbusters would quickly solve the problem. The team of Ray, Egon, Peter, and Winston would come to your place of haunting, then use energy weapons to force the ghost into a sort of high-tech rat trap. They then disposed of the ghosts in a special energy vault at Ghostbuster HQ.

Inevitably the film was made into a cartoon series. “The Real Ghostbusters,” also adding new member, “Slimer,” a pudgy ghost. This comedy/adventure series had a respectable run, and was eventually adapted again into this comic title.

This comic book was never available to the mass market and was only sold in comic book specialty shops.
