The Real Ghostbusters UK Comics

 The 80s saw multiple titles for The Real Ghostbusters, extending all the way into the early 90s.
In 1988 the main weekly The Real Ghostbusters title launched. The title lasted until 1992 with 193 issues
 Various issues were reprinted in bumper sized Collected Comics for 13 issues ending in 1994
 Slimer also had his own short lived comic starting in 1989 to tie in with the changes to the animated series which had by this time become Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters. Slimers solo outing lasted an unlucky 13 issues.
 1989 saw another Slimer-centric title. It's Wicked was a Beano and Dandy style comedy comic but dedicated to supernatural and horror themed characters with Slimer being the face of the series much like Dennis the Menace was to Beano and Desperate Dan was to Dandy. This lasted 11 issues.
A fun spin off from the main Ghostbusters comic was Puzzlebuster. A puzzle magazine themed around the Ghostbusters and included short comic strips featuring the characters.
