“Video Nasties!”
A group of ghosts take over a low-rated TV station, and the Ghostbusters are hired by the station manager to deal with the problem. The Ghostbusters arrive to find an Egyptian motif inside the station and a horde of ghosts ready to fight them. If that wasn’t enough, they also come face-to-face with The Nameless One again! Ghosts, Mummies and bad reruns…could this mean cancellation for the Ghostbusters?

FYI: Page 5-Egon works on a machine identified by Peter as Ecto-3. When Ecto-3 debuted on the animated series as a compact motorcycle that stores in the rear fender of Ecto-1, this Ecto-3 became Ecto-4 in later issues. There was a similar problem during filming of Ghostbusters II; Ecto-1A was originally named Ecto-2 until producers decided there would be too much confusion between it and the helicopter known as Ecto-2 on the animated series. In a couple of the montage shots, you can see that the Ecto-2 license plate has been blurred out before it was replaced with Ecto-1A.

FYI: Page 5-Peter also mentions Ecto-2, which never appeared in the NOW series.

BLOOPER:
Pin-up: The cover image was reversed, putting Peter’s no-ghost logo on the wrong arm and backwards.
