PRODUCTION ARTWORK

(For storyboards, please see the Real Ghostbusters Storyboards page)

The images in this section were provided by James Eatock. The "First Sketch" is, as its name implies, the first time that artist Kevin Altieri drew the characters that would become The Real Ghostbusters. This is, quite possibly, the first time that anyone who worked on the show drew the characters.
