The Real Ghostbusters (not to be confused with the group with Tracy the propeller hat-wearing gorilla) are back in Dark Horse Books new The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History.
The new full-color art book (written by Troy Benjamin and Craig Goldberg) chronicles the history of the animated series The Real Ghostbusters with rare and never-before-seen visuals, including conceptual artwork, storyboards, script excerpts, internal memos, packaging art, unseen prototypes, abandoned concepts, brand-new photography and interviews. The book also delves into their popular action figure and toy line.
“The Real Ghostbusters is so widely-known and still beloved by people of all ages,” said Goldberg. Benjamin added, “As knowledgeable fans ourselves, Craig and I discovered through the interviews how little has been revealed about the whole story behind the series and toys. There’s so much in this book for new and old fans alike, told through the eyes of those who were there.”
