That is a awesome picture! It almost looks real!

Daaaaaaaaamn, kick ass Rob

Thank you, kindly, true-believers.

The next thing I draw will be our vehicles and later a look at our headquarters.

Now, THAT is frickin' sweet! :-O

Mr. No-Ghost
The next thing I draw will be our vehicles and later a look at our headquarters.

Yeah, what does our HQ look like anyway? LMAO. I don't think you've ever drawn a picture of it. EVER. lol

That's a very good question my friend, that's why it's got to be drawn.

Ladies and Gents. Greetings again.

We have a new GBDP story posted. I haven't uploaded it to the ‘Memoirs Section’ of our site yet, so for your convenience, I'll post it here.

As you may have seen, we currently have several stories up for the public. If you haven't got caught up on the ongoing adventures of Ghostbusters: Doom Patrol, you can start with “Black Dawn” and work your way down the list. All stories are in chronological order.

Now, without further adiu, we bring to you…

Ghostbusters Doom Patrol: The Dark Side of the Moon, Part 1
It's one year later, the Ghostbusters Doom Patrol are rebuilding their organization. In the mean time, a new threat looms over the horizon of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania…

GBDP: The Dark Side of the Moon, Part 2
The new team has their first mission, but all is still not what it seems in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I've been told by CJ/Dr. London that trivia bits will be up later. And from what he says, they're pretty interesting ones to know. Stay tuned, folks!

Ghostbusters Doom Patrol: “Reflection” (Part 1)

While the team is away for the night, a recovering Robert Statler spends an evening alone at the homestead of Ghostbusters: Doom Patrol. Will it be a night of peace, or will he ‘rest in peace’?

Notes and Trivium from “Dark Side of the Moon: Parts 1 & 2”

Now for something completely different:

• 1. Besides the similar names, Chaney was not based off of He-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named, but is actually a tribute to Creighton Chaney, aka Lon Chaney, Jr., the actor who portrayed Lawrence “Larry” Talbot in the Wolf Man and related media for Universal Studios in the 40s. So that's something for the film buffs out there.
  
  2. The scenes with the ECU were based off of a similar scene from GB1. That description of the ECU's capabilities come from the Ghostbusters Fact List, courtesy of Fritz Baugh, Matthew Riddle, and Benjamin King.
  
  3. Once again, another appereance by Kenny Rogers. Rob loves that song.
  
  4. Chapters 8 and 9-10 were written first, which is why in the original draft they were far more realized and developed than Chapters 7 and 11.
  
  5. One of the key influences on me has been the Mobile Police Patlabor anime series. This is evident in the team's interaction with the police (GBUK did this first I believe with their own Inspector) and how the public views the team. I also loved how Mamoru Oshii made it a point to not have the focus be on the giant mechs of the series, so unlike Gundam, the Patlabor characters were more familiar and real than Amuro Ray or Duo Maxwell. This is also why there aren't that many actual “busts” in our stories, and this is probably more apparent as time goes on.
  
  6. Detective Madison has a major role here than he ever has in our stories. He is based upon Eddie Valiant from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
  
  7. Detective Madison's conversations with his partner and Salina are similar to a scene in Mobile Police Patlabor 1: The Movie.
  
  8. The bar scenes are a homage to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
  
  9. “Lola” and the fact that Tim sings her name, are a nod to the Kinks, who recorded an ambigous song called “Lola”.
  
  10. There's some really out there psychosis on sex and violence here, almost my own way of trying to understand what we're learning at the moment in my Psych class, especially with Chaney equating sex with eating (and also based upon similar themes in Peter Sellers's film “Hoffman”)
  
  11. The scenes in Chaney's basement were a homage to Thomas Harris and “Red Dragon”, the scariest book I ever read. Even the name that Orla mentions, “Garrett Jacob Hobbes”, was a serial killer that protagonist Will Graham caught in Red Dragon before he met Hannibal Lecter. The description of Chaney's basement is based on a the implied horrors of Lecter's basement, and the fate of the cop who found it.
  
  12. “Phantasm”…still a very frightening movie.

Ladies and gentleman I'd like to make an announcement.

For as long as Ghostbusters: Doom Patrol has been around, we've made it our goal to always do what's best for the greater good of our franchise and the Ghostbusters Online and Fan Fiction Community in general. Whether its writing stories, conceiving art, or humbly participating in The Omnibus Timeline and Ghostbusters International, we have alot of fun in doing what we do. It has been nothing short of a pleasure and we thank all of you who have supported us over the years and been with us since the beginning. Now as much as what I'm saying sounds like a melodramatic swan song, its not.

We are far from retired, folks, because you ain't seen nothin' yet!

As some of you may know, we have been expanding, and that being said it is my pleasure to welcome and introduce to you the newest member to the creative team of Ghostbusters: Doom Patrol…



Adam Bestler

GBDP have been in talks with Bestler.Inc and have come to form a mutual partnership. Mr. Bestler will be the permanent colorist for all Doom Patrol art along side the pencils of Editor-in-Chief/Co-Writer, Mr. No-Ghost. We are happy to have him on board as his color rendering style will be a tremendous asset to the team.

As a show of things to come, below is an example of what to expect from the new MNG/Bestler alliance.
