Ghostbusters on Steroids, I like that one!

1) While we're on the subject, how about “The Incredible Winston”. When comic Winston gets angry, he turns into case-study Winston.

2) An issue that highlights all of the bad stuff that happens to Egon. Titled Egon's Bad Day, it would follow Egon as he turns into a chicken, a baby, and a blue monster, has his soul sucked out of his body, is terrorized by the boogieman, etc etc.

PS: The Winston Smash joke has been done to death, but I just couldn't resist bringing it up again.

Poor Egon is a big enough Dartboard already. There's no need to rub it in his face.

I'm beginning to think Egon is some sort of trouble magnet, and one of these days someone's going to explain why. Probably has something to do with all of those magician ancestors he had. Wouldn't it be funny if the oh-so-scientific Dr. Spengler turned out to be a sorceror?

Hows about an issue that shows the Ghostbusters if they operated in Victorian England, using proton packs made from 19th Century parts and running into Sherlock Holmes and such.

I don't think the 19th century equvilant of a nuclear accelerator would be something you could carry.

Well to be honest there would be no nuclear excelorators in the 19th century at all. If a victorian type universe were done, I could see Egon coming up with some alternative. Maybe something similar to a tesla coil only instead of electrons being produced, protons are. After all that is what the streams are made of.

I can see Egon using some type of Static Electricity generator on a ghost only to find that the ghost repels the bolt, thus leading Egon to the conclusion that Ghost have the same charge as electricity (negative) and so he develops a way to produce anti-electricity, or proton streams. Thats the only reason they use any nuclear elements. The nuclear elemnts break down and give off protons. I think thats how it works anyway.

:s :d Fritz has given me an interesting idea. For an Alternate Universe issue, how about this:

There are only three differences between the normal Universe and this one:
1.) The Ghostbusters of this Universe look different (Maybe Mark Brooks/El Diablo could drop in and help out with this. ):
Dr. Peter Venkman has a part in his hair, instead of a receding hairline, a different face, he’s 6’1”, and he wears a dark brown jumpsuit W/ green-blue trims (With a nametag, in the style/font that was used in GB II.).
Dr. Egon Spengler has a big twirly blonde funnel-shaped hairdo, he has a different face, he’s 6’5”, wears thin circular-shaped red glasses, and he wears a dark blue jumpsuit W/ pinkish trims (With a nametag, in the style/font that was used in GB II.).
Dr. Raymond Stantz has auburn (Reddish-colored.) hair, he has a different face, he’s chubby, he’s 5’11”, and he wears a tan jumpsuit W/ brown trims (With a nametag, in the style/font that was used in GB II.).
Winston Zeddemore has shorter sideburns, he has a different face, he isn’t as muscular, he’s 6’2”, and he wears an aqua jumpsuit W/ reddish trims (With a nametag, in the style/font that was used in GB II.).
All of their equipment looks exactly the same as it is the normal Universe.
2.) They have more Vehicles:
Ecto-2: A two-person gyrocopter W/ a Proton Canon.
Forget about the Ecto-3. It just isn’t worth using or bringing up!
Ecto-4: A small gyrowing Aircraft designed and built by Dr. Egon Spengler. It can hold it's pilot and at least four passengers. It's equipped with a Proton Canon, but it's real jewel is the built-in Transdimensional Drive, an evolution of Egon's earlier Dimensional Gate technologies. The drive is hideously expensive to build and operate, however. Egon is the main pilot.
3.) They have a pet – The very first Ghost that they ever busted, the Class V Full-Roaming Vapor from the Sedgewick Hotel, and his name is “Slimer”.

Seriously, this would make a great Alternate Universe issue. If there’s never going to be an RGB Revival, and we’re never going to see the RGB’s anymore, then we could at least see them this one last time, as sort of a salute to them. And who knows, maybe they could get a proper farewell this time around. . .

I think that it would be neat to have a RGB story or a story like aykroyd's original script for an alternate universe issue.

The Sherlock Holmes running into the GBs has been done, check out Sinister's CRUSADERS

19th Century Ghostbusters using proton packs made from Victorian-era parts?

So, it'd be called “The Leauge of Extraordinary Ghostbusters”?
