Four tales of the Ghostbusters!

Ray returns to Toad Island after 25 years to visit some old friends in the Freak Show, but ends up saving the day.

Peter and Irena have a romp in the park playing a game of cat and mouse.

Egon and Janine take a visiting Shannon to the circus, only to discover one of Samhain’s minions now works there. However, he’s far from happy and begs Egon for help.

Winston takes advantage of his night off by going out on a date. Unfortunately, a group of gargoyles aim to ensure he has an unpleasant evening. So, it’s up to his guardian Slimer to ensure the Ghostbuster isn’t busted!

“With everything that’s happened to the Ghostbusters lately, Winston feels its time for a vacation. He takes a trip down to a small town in Florida for some R&R, until he learns that trouble has once again followed him. It seems as if the entire town is populated by a race of aliens at war with another race of aliens bent on their destruction.  And, of course, Winston gets caught in the middle!”

1. Goof: Egon’s “no ghost” logo is missing on the cover.

Leave It To Woodchuck is a play on the ‘50s TV series, “Leave It To Beaver.”
