“Transmutant Terror!”
    The Ghostbusters get called out to a house in the suburbs where a kid has been taken hostage by his collection of Transmutants, Teddys in Disguise!  They quickly take care of the toys, but Egon discovers that the source of their possession is actually from a location within a 10 mile radius.  They quickly find themselves at the factory that makes Transmutants, not knowing what robotic horrors await them within!  

“Spengler’s Spirit Guide” Part 56
    Playthings of the undead.

“No Khan Do”
    Gonkiss Khan and his men have returned and have set their sights on pillaging New York.  Of course, the only thing standing in their way are the Ghostbusters, who question their very sanity as the confrontation ensues.

“Surgical Spirit!”
    Winston and Peter answer a call at a hospital when a ghost terrorizes the emergency room.  It’s a pun-filled adventure as the spirit has them in stitches and causes them to realize they must perform some radical surgery.

“Dead True!”
    Wars never really end as two shepherds in Warwickshire learned when passing by a hill where a great war was waged they discovered to their horror that the spirits of those lost had returned to re-enact the war over and over again!  

“Poultrygeist!”
    Ray prepares a turkey for the 4th of July, but his side dishes keep disappearing as soon as he prepares them.  It looks like there’s a poultrygeist in the turkey that’s about to be cooked with protons.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Mad Minnie’s Nosh Shop is full, but Slimer will not be denied!
Special Features:
    Bio: The Ghost Buttress.

FYI: “Transmutants, Teddys in Disguise” is obviously the Ghostbusters version of the popular 80s franchise Transformers, Robots in Disguise.

FYI: “Surgical Spirit!” was also featured in NOW’s Slimer! #18.
BLOOPER: “Poultrygeist”
    This story is supposed to take place for the 4th of July, which doesn’t explain why Ray is making a big turkey dinner when, usually, the customary meal is a BBQ.  Peter is also wearing a sweater in what is supposed to be summer.
