IDW Ghostbusters, Vol. 1 No. 9 - The Tristan Jones Hand-Drawn Spook Central Cover
IDW Ghostbusters, Vol. 1 No. 9 - The Dan Schoening Paul Rudoff Charity Cover
IDW Ghostbusters, Vol. 1 No. 11 - Yours Truly, Paul Rudoff, Makes A Cameo Appearance
IDW Ghostbusters: Infestation #1 - Winston Sketch Cover I Bought (alt url)
I bought this on May 30, 2011 from UK shop Abstract Sprocket on eBay in a lot with the Ghostbusters: Infestation #2 logo cover (which I already had) and the Infestation Sketchbook RI cover (the one with McCoy from Star Trek front and center on it). It arrived in the mail on June 7, 2011. I already had the other Infestation Sketchbook cover (the one with Optimus Prime from Transformers front and center on it), and wasn't really sure if I wanted to buy the other cover - since there is no Ghostbusters on it, but since it was in the lot, I wasn't gonna complain. The three books, with shipping from the UK to the US, cost me US $37.81 (GBP 12.38 + 10.00 shipping), which is REALLY cheap considering Mile High Comics was selling two of the hand-drawn sketch covers by themselves for $100 EACH! - and they're not even showing pictures on their site of what the covers they're selling look like.

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
       East Rockaway, NY
