Hi everyone!

My name is Tristan Jones. I'm a comic book writer for Mirage for Mirage Studios Tales of the TMNT and Titan UK's TMNT Comics. I'm also a contributing writer for Cereal:Geek magazine and scripting the upcoming Return of the C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa comic book series.

I'm currently working on a project I've been wanting to put together for a REALLY long time now and have finally been given the greenlight to do so, but I need the help of the fans here!

I'm putting together a proper Tobin's Spirit Guide. That's right! Essentially it's a guide to the ghosts of The Real Ghostbusters - think those Marvel Comics handbooks but for RGB (and maybe some EGB).

Basically, I'm writing the text myself and providing illustrations with a pro colourist rendering the images. At the moment, I already have sketches and images of The Ghostmaster, Samhain, The Bogeyman, The Grundel, Captain Jack Higgins, Barrow Wights, The Emissaries of Ragnarok, The Sandman, and Mr. Ugly. I'm after decent quality images of the following to use as reference:

Hob Anagarok - Cold Cash, Hot Water
The Boghound - The Scaring of the Green
Nexa - Devil in the Deep
The Undines - Devil in the Deep
Gremlins - Don't Forget the Motor City (and some pics of th EGB one if possible).
The Phantom - Sticky Business
Terror Dog - Copycat
Imps (Bot forms from The Joke's on Ray)
Water Elemental - Future Tense
Mee-Krah - Standing Room Only
The People Busters - Flip Side
Poultrygeist (hatchling and fully grown)
The Ghost Bounty Hunters - Short Stuff
MAkoveris Lotsabucks - Janine, You've Changed
The Slob - The Slob
The Glob - The Slob
Logar - You Can't Teach an Old Demon New Tricks
Deep Ones - Collect Call of Cthulhu
Cthulhu - Collect Call of
Watt - Killerwatt
Sir Bruce - Hard Day's Knight

There are a fair few more, mainly core demons and spirits from other episodes, but if anyone can pitch in and help me get these pics, I'd be extremely appreciative!

Peace!

The People Busters - Flip Side

I can offer a couple scans from the Now Comics RGB 3-D Annual. They aren't in color, and were originally published in 3-D, but they might be helpful.





I could also point you to some fan art, including a conjectural Peoplebuster Winston if you're interested.

Hey! Thanks for these Fritz! And for the ones over on the HQ too! I'd forgotten about the little grabs on Spookcentral! I'm actually planning on putting the often-wondered-about Winston Peoplebuster into the guide as well, when I arrive at their profile!

Well, here's the concept I did for Peoplebuster Winston.. He sorta appeared in my speculative fan fic ending for Now's last serial (which was never completed, to my knowledge), and will probably pop up in an upcoming fan fic:

Use or disregard as you see fit.

Um… because he's not supernatural, nor a Ghostbusters monster.
