MY LETTER TO THE EDITOR
In The Real Ghostbusters 3-D Slimer Special (July 1993, NOW Comics), a letter I wrote to the editor was published. Here is that letter.
To NOW Comics:
I love your REAL GHOSTBUSTERS comics. I have a lot of your SLIMERs and a lot of your REAL GHOSTBUSTERS comics, but I am missing quite a few. Could you send me a list of all the GHOSTBUSTER-related comics books you make, because I want to collect them. I have a lot of the original SLIMER comics and a lot of the original GHOSTBUSTERS comics, but that’s about all. Keep up the good work!
Yours truly,
Paul Rudoff

CANCELED ONGOING MONTHLY SERIES
An ongoing monthly series was planned, but because of the bad business practices of 88MPH Studios owner Sebastien Clavet, no issues were ever published. That’s not surprising considering a hardcover trade paperback version of the Legion series that was offered for pre-sale was never published, even though hundreds or thousands of customers paid in advance for it. (UK publisher Titan Books released a softcover trade paperback, but without any of the extras that Sebastien promised would be in his version: a colored version of The Zeddemore Factor one shot, concept art, ‘Ecto-Logs’, and a foreword by Ghostbusters creator Dan Aykroyd.) The ongoing series of the comic was to officially start in June 2004 with three known stories. The synopses below were collected from the official site. They are followed by copies of the cover art that were briefly made available online and in Previews magazine.
• Ghostbusters Monthly #1 – In June of 1984, GHOSTBUSTERS exploded into theaters and captivated a generation. Twenty years later, the boys are back in a brand new MONTHLY comic book series. Now that they’ve saved the world twice, the Ghostbusters want to go global…but that’s easier said than done. Meanwhile, a dead man is wandering the streets of New York and something wicked stirs in the Central Park Zoo. Old foes, new enemies and trusty unlicensed nuclear accelerators, this exciting first issue has it all. Because even after two decades, you know who to call.
• Ghostbusters Monthly #2 – Romance is in the air as Egon and Janine go out on their first official date, and with Peter playing the role of Cyrano things are bound to get interesting. Meanwhile, Winston goes solo, Louis gets an unwelcome visit from an old friend, and Ray takes a trip to a dark, dangerous place…the library.
• Ghostbusters Monthly #3 – With the powerful ghost known as Ahriman making trouble and Vinz Clortho back for an encore, the Ghostbusters find themselves racing from one disaster to the next. And that’s before things get really bad. It turns out there’s one thing worse than having two evil spirits rampaging through New York; when they get together.

Since there are many variant covers, and this IS a Ghostbusters site, after all, I am not going to list every cover below. Only the Ghostbusters covers will be listed below..
The entire series was collected into two trade paperbacks (Volume 1 and Volume 2) in July and August 2011.
