What I remember:

I loved The Ghostbusters as a little kid and still do to this day. It’s still my favorite movie of all time much to the chagrin of my college Cinema Studies teacher.

My first introduction to the franchise was actually through the cartoon show, The Real Ghostbusters that I would religiously every Saturday morning. I would sit and watch the show while playing with my firehouse play-set. I was obsessed.

This book differs from the current Ghostbusters books published today from IDW in that the characters likenesses are based off of the cartoon show not the movies. Which is why it's called The Real Ghostbusters and not just Ghostbusters.
