Ecto-3 is a go-cart that allows the Ghostbusters to perform high-speed chases and busts inside a building. When Peter and Winston head out to give it a test ride, they soon learn that the best idea they can ever come up with is never to let Peter drive.
“Dead True!”
His days numbered, the pirate captain Watson left one of his crewmen behind on his private island with his buried treasure, killing him so his ghost could stand watch forever!
“The Witch!” Part 1
Marlene Whately, a witch, has kidnapped the familiar of her enemy, Phineas Evantide, the prince of warlocks. During a rant about the Ghostbusters stopping Astorath in the previous issues, the familiar, Tarantula, escapes and hitches a ride on a train. She knows the only way to get back to her master is to seek out the Ghostbusters Marlene mentioned. Unfortunately, the foes are not so quick to give up, and are ready to take the fight to New York!
“Blimey! It’s Slimer!”
Slimer enjoys his favorite show: The Cat!

Slime Time! Jokes.
FYI: Yet another toy makes its comic debut in the form of Ecto-3. In the cartoon, Ecto-3 was a motorized unicycle and sidecar that was stored in the rear quarter panel of Ecto-1. Another Ecto-3 appeared in the NOW Comics series but was later renamed Ecto-4 upon the introduction of Ecto-3 in the cartoon.
FYI: More of the toy line crosses over into the comics as the Ghostbusters don suits resembling those of the Super Fright Features line of figures. Banking on the success of the original Fright Features figures which allowed the crew to express fear, Super Fright Features gave them bulky suits with new modes of expression. Egon’s suit is the only one featured in a couple of episodes of the cartoon.
FYI: This issue features part of “A Cat Named Tarantula” renamed “The Witch” from NOW’s Real Ghostbusters vol. 1 #12.
FYI: “Blimey! It’s Slimer!”
