IDW PUBLISHING CELEBRATES THE GHOSTBUSTERS 35TH ANNIVERSARY WITH WEEKLY SERIES
Can you believe the Ghostbusters are turning 35 this year? To celebrate this milestone, IDW Publishing has lined up a four-issue weekly series this April with each chapter focused on a different team of Ghostbusters. There's the original “Prime” group from the 1984 film, the Real Ghostbusters of the 1980s cartoon, the all-female team from 2016 film, and the next generation of Extreme Ghostbusters.
“Since 2008, IDW has published an amazing library of ‘Busters from multiple dimensions and times, written and illustrated by a diverse crew of mega-talented creators… so what better way is there to celebrate this special anniversary than by showing off the eclectic cast from Ghostbusters projects far and wide?” says Senior Editor Tom Waltz. “Fans, old and new, can again expect the best of the best in full four-color, SLIMERRIFIC glory!”
IDW Editor-in-Chief John Barber says, "Ghostbusters has been an important part of IDW Publishing for more than a decade, and thanks to everybody at Sony and Ghost Corps, it’s been an amazing eleven years. With Ghostbusters hitting such a milestone anniversary, it’s time to celebrate every facet of the team’s history… and to get ready for everything that’s coming next!"
