“The Copper Kid!”
    The Ghostbusters are called back down to Chinatown to go on a foretold quest to rescue The Copper Kid from the Devil King.  They get sent back to a dimension that resembles ancient China and must fight their way past the man-beast guards of the Devil King.  But, even if they succeed that far, they must still defeat the King himself!  (And no, we don't mean Elvis.)

“Spengler’s Spirit Guide” Part 58
 Trans-Ectoplasmic Metamorphism, or the Hyde Syndrome.

“Dr. Spengler & Egon Hyde!”
    Concern grows in the firehouse as Egon is not seen from his lab in a few days.  While this isn’t such a strange occurrence in itself, there are things that make it unusual.  Upon investigating, they discover the startling truth: Egon had transformed himself into a monster!

“Dead True!”
    There’s nothing like a good game of chess with an old friend…even if he’s dead!

“The Private Eye”
    A visitor from another Ecto-Sphere comes to the Ghostbusters for help in finding the twin of his companion, the Private Eye.  Egon and Peter embark on the chase while Winston and Ray keep an eye on…the eye.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    Slimer must save Toy Town from a giant Gingerbread Man!  (We swear we’re not making this up!)
Special Features:
    Bio: Boot Phantoms.
FYI: This issue shares its cover with NOW’s Slimer! #12, which also featured a story inspired by “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.”

FYI: “The Copper Kid!” bares many similarities to the 1986 Eddie Murphy movie The Golden Child.

FYI: “The Copper Kid!”
    Page 5 - HO: “And may the source be with you!”
    A play on the phrase “May the force be with you”, alluding to the power shared by most of the characters in the Star Wars franchise.
