Calgary artists Jackson Gee and Ross Hughes created this piece of The Real Ghostbusters art.
It feels like his inspiration came of course from the series with a mix of comic art from Legion which was penciled by Steve Kurth and inked by Serge LaPointe. Original website text in French.
Here’s what Jackson said about the piece:
The Sandman was kinda scary. This cartoon was one of my faves of all time. Pen and ink by me colour done by the Ross Hughes.

Unless you know me and/or are my friend on Facebook you may not know I’m a wrestling fan. I was a kid during WWF’s Rock N Roll era of wrestling, kinda moved away from both WWF and WCW in the early ’90s. A friend and because of the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan initially brought me back during the mid ’90s (not right from Bash At The Beach 1996) when the nWo formed. I’ve pretty much have been a fan of various wrestling organizations ever since. Good bad or indifferent I watch current WWE and TNA/Impact Wrestling programming weekly. If TNA founder Jeff “The Chosen One” Jarrett gets Global Force Wrestling going, I’ll check that out as well. It all depends on what’s going on in my life.
Unlike ghostheads Paul Rudoff and Jason Fitzsimmons I don’t usually need to collide Ghostbusters and Professional Sports Entertainment Wrestling. Good enough. 😀 It’s fun, my sites aren’t about talking about famous people being into Ghostbusters or famous wrestlers showing their support globally with their wrestling gear. It doesn’t go un-noticed.
When I read Zack Ryder was buying Kenner Ghostbusters toys, I probably should have contacted him as friends and visitors to Ecto-Containment know I own a lot, not everything Kenner The Real Ghostbusters related. I read Zack Ryder bought something I own, written about, and has meant a lot to me, it felt like a good time to talk about Ghostbusters and a little wrestling.
Plus because 1 person cares I use to watch Toy Hunter for multiple reasons during season 1. What Ghostbusters and Kenner fan didn’t love an early episode when Jordan Hembrough bought mint Kenner toys from former Kenner employees?
Which brings us to this week when WWE’s Zack Ryder appeared on Toy Hunter recently buying a MIB Kenner The Real Ghostbusters Ecto-Charger Pack. Unlike Zack Ryder I’m not famous outside of Ghostbusters fandom, though I probably could be on a collecting reality show and no one is going to find or have a MIB toy for me to buy. For that reason I bought my MIB Ecto-Charger Pack (blog post) off a popular auction site.
Maybe its the condition of the toy or the fact Zack Ryder has to be in a higher tax bracket then me. He paid a lot more then I did, something tells me it wasn’t about the monetary amount.
Woo Woo…

Brent Waller, who invented the Cuusoo Lego’s 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters playset is back with a new Ghostbusters Lego Cuusso idea.
Ray use to roast Stay-Puft Marshmallows at Camp Waconda when he was a kid. Thirty years later because of Ghostbusters I use to make Stay-Puft out of marshmallows and tooth picks. During Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary now I want to build Mr. Stay-Puft out of non edible white, blue, and red Legos.
It can’t happen if we don’t support Brent again and buy the official Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Lego set with mini figures due this June. Once the campaign reaches 10,000 votes Lego will harmonize the universe and make a decision to move forward with this.
Info:
The follow up to my Ghostbusters: 30th Anniversary Project, The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!
He may looking cute and friendly but this is no mere chunky sailor. As the physical manifestation of the Sumerian demonic deity Gozer he stands over 34cm (13 inches) tall and is a formidable sight to an minifig in your LEGO city.
He has articulated Arms, Legs, Head, Feet and Hands.
If and when this is successful Brent would like to see three new mini figs be included. Hopefully Walter Peck can have a mini fig variant which is covered in sweet marshmallow! 😀

Friends and ghostheads Ronald Giameo and Carol Jacky set up a photo shoot using Ron’s recent upgraded Firehouse, ECTO-1. and new Diamond Select Toys 24″ Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man bank.
Pretty sweet right?

Ghostheads have known for years that Ghostbusters II has enough deleted scenes to make a feature out of. For example, a scene where Louis Tully in the Firehouse sets a trap (um just about literally) to catch Slimer because the overgrown ghost ate his lunch. Louis uses a proton pack and damages a ceiling or wall.
One of the cut scenes from Ghostbusters II involved the ending. For the unfamiliar the guys were able to finally get paid for saving the city if they promise to put Ms. Harbor Chick 1990 back together. How this would have been accomplished and what cost is anyone’s guess. While part of that wasn’t necessary, honoring the Ghostbusters and showing Lady Liberty was. We only get a glimpse in the closing credits. This scene was longer with the guys talking about their nationalities and receiving a key to the city.
That scene was in enough drafts that the artists at NOW (Ghostbusters Firehouse) created what was to become pages 28-30. At the request of Columbia Pictures, the comic ending was removed. As James Van Hise would bring up, the studio wasn’t around to “make” them remove the deleted Ecto-1A crash scene. Which we only see part of in the Ghostbusters II montage.
Ghosthead Alex Newborn has proof art with a personal letter from James Van Hise. Alex shared scans from his collection at Ghostbusters Fans on October 1, 2011. With his permission I’m sharing his scans today NOW 😀 that all three Ghostbusters II issues are complete.
Besides what would have been the final ending to Ghostbusters II, you can see that NOW used the final Statue Of Liberty panel to close out the comic story.
