I have no idea if they were out over here… All I ever did have was a Ghostbusters annual with Stay Puft on the front. Fritz, would you mind re typing your letters please?
Does this mean the RGB comic will get reprinted?

I never ever saw a single RGB comic…. I have no idea if they were out over here… All I ever did have was a Ghostbusters annual with Stay Puft on the front.

That's odd because Marvel put out RGB issues strictly for the UK in I think ‘89 or ’90. I guess this is why we need the issues archived because some of us never did have that joy of seeing RGB in print

That's right!I'm currently holding a book called “The Real Ghostbusters:Ghostnappers and Other Stories”,printed by Marvel.
The stories in it are Ghostnappers,Ecto-X,Snack Attack,Busy Busting,These Boots Were Made For Walking,Which Face is Witch,
Ponquadragor II,Tobin's Spirit,Hell Razor and Feline Phantom.
It's a bit battered,as I got it when I was a kid and read it over and over.
If anyone wants me to scan them on,I could.

Marvel UK did indeed have the RGB license in England–some of their shorter stories were reprinted by Now in the Slimer! comic, RGB Vol.1 No.21, and RGB Vol.2. But most of the ones that came to the States were rather sloppy and juvenile, clearly aimed at the Slimer! audience (as opposed to the American stories, especially Vol.1, which seemed to aim at the higher standards set by Season 1) But I hasten to add that just because the stories I saw were crap doesn't mean all the Marvel UK stuff was crap.

Oh, a great deal of them paled in light of seeing the Now Comics. Though the Spengler's Spirit Guide was an intresting notion, as well as Winston's diary.

Well, I'm not sure if this has been answered but I sent a letter to NOW Comics and got this.

Hi,
is there any chance the real ghostbusters comic will be reprinted?
Thanks
RE: Real Ghostbusters
Dear Peter:
No, IÂm afraid the rights were given to a new Canadian comic book company before the new NOW launched.
Thanks,
Tony

Looks like a no show :-( .

Which would seem to say, if anyone will be reprinting the RGB comics, it would be 88MPH Studios. That doesn't seem real likely, as it takes place in a completely different continuity than their comics, but stranger things have happened.
The new comic selling like hotcakes would help.

Most of DC's archive collections take place in pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths and pre-Zero Hour continuity (like the Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman of the 1940s no longer exist for example), which means that while they take place out of continuity, they still helped establish history for many of their characters. Same thing 88MPH should do with the RGB comics. Id love to see a hardcover edition with an introduction by Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, or James Van Hise
