Despite being conceived as a comedy vehicle for [[w:John Belushi|John Belushi]] based on [[w:Dan Aykroyd|Dan Aykroyd]]'s paranormal spec int with a licensed title from an [[w:The Ghost Busters|unrelated production]], the 1984 movie {{GB|Ghostbusters|''Ghostbusters''}} was a cultural phenomenon. This unlikely supernatural comedy launched a multimedia franchise, much of which was aimed at a younger audience – [https://geektyrant.com/news/10-r-rated-movies-that-spawned-kids-toys-and-cartoons as was the style at the time] – including [[w:DiC|DiC]]'s animated sequel/spin-off, {{GB|The_Real_Ghostbusters|''The Real Ghostbusters''.}}
Debuting in 1988, Marvel UK's ''The Real Ghostbusters'' became a runaway hit, running for an unprecedented 193 issues with annuals and spin-off appearances galore. Producing the comic was a ballsy move in the early days as, unlike many of Marvel UK's other licensed titles, ''The Real Ghostbusters'' had no U.S. equivalent series to reprint as a safety net; in those early days, ''The Real Ghostbusters'' was filled with home-grown, in-house talent. This led to something of a transatlantic cultural exchange with the later {{GB|NOW_Comics-_The_Real_Ghostbusters_Series|NOW Comics ''The Real Ghostbusters'' series,}} as each publication began to reprint the other's material.
The Ghostbusters also fell afoul of the Gwanzulums, meaning we cover the following:

*Issue 20: [[Gwanzulum]]s Fact File
