Publications

The Ghostbusters franchise has been well represented in print, from making-of books and children's storybooks to comics, novelizations, and the trade and fan magazines that covered the films as they were released. This section collects the published works tied to the films and to the animated series The Real Ghostbusters.

The catalog is grouped by format: books, comics, magazines, activity titles, and other printed material. Many of these titles are out of print and now circulate mainly among collectors, so dates, publishers, and printings reflect the information recorded for each release. The pages below cover the individual entries.
