“Trick or Treat or Defeat”

    It’s Halloween time again, and a kindly old man is giving away free Halloween stuff to kids.  But, as with most Halloweens, things are not always as they seem; the kindly old man turns out to be Samhain conducting his latest gamble to take over the world!  With his sinister treats scattered all around the city, this may be the final trick unless the Ghostbusters can discover his plan and defeat him once again!

“Pandora’s Box”

    The Ghostbusters return from the Pentagon with Professor Epimetheus’ device; a doorway to another dimension.  Afraid to dismantle it without the Professor present, Egon and Peter embark on an adventure through the portal in order to track the Professor down.  However, they find themselves in an all-too-familiar place; Boo York, home of the Peoplebusters!

FYI: “Trick or Treat or Defeat”
    Page 3-Peter: “Janine, I have two words for you: Ringling Brothers!”
    Referring to the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus dubbed “The Greatest Show on Earth.”

FYI: “Pandora’s Box” continues over from the 1992 Annual. The cliffhanger ending of this story is never resolved.

FYI: The title of “Pandora’s Box” comes from the Greek myth of a woman named Pandora who opened a box, releasing the spirits of human suffering upon the world.

FYI: This issue marks the first time Winston has met the Peoplebusters.  When Egon, Peter and Ray were propelled into the alternate reality in the episode Flip Side, Winston was left behind.  Some theorize this is why there is no Peoplebuster version of Winston.

FYI: The Pin-up is a 3-D version of the 3-D Special’s cover without the 3-D glasses on the guys and additional ghosts.
BLOOPER:
     Cover-The trap doors are colored red and yellow instead of black and yellow, and the handles are in the wrong positions.
BLOOPER: “Pandora’s Box”
     Page 2-Ray’s arm is missing the no-ghost logo.
BLOOPER:
     Pin-up-Ray's no-ghost logo is on the wrong arm.
