“Back to the Slimer!”
    Egon’s latest device is a time machine…which accidentally sends Peter into the past.  Stranded, he’s forced to become the jester of King Remils, who is very unpopular with the people.  Meanwhile, in the future, Slimer has begun to disappear.  Egon theorizes that Peter has met Slimer’s past incarnation, King Remils, and changing the events that would make him into a ghost.  Now they have to race against time in order to save their little green friend and retrieve their partner!

    Time spooks.

“A Little Devil-Sitting!”
    It’s a typical day at HQ, except for the fact that Janine is forced to baby-sit her little cousin, Maxwald.  Unfortunately, this little terror at loose in the firehouse could end up causing a lot more trouble than even New York City can handle!

“Ecto-Baby”
    The Ghostbusters are called in to deal with an Ecto-Baby’s raid on a local toy store.  However, no sooner do they confront the spook that he turns them into little kids!  Now the young Ghostbusters are facing a second childhood unless they can grow up and give that baby a time-out.

“Blimey!  It’s Slimer!”
    A witch’s brew is just another stew to the likes of Slimer.
Special Features:
    Slime Time!  Jokes.
FYI: “Back to the Slimer!” is a play on the titles of the Back to the Future movie trilogy.
FYI: “Back to the Slimer!”
    It’s established that one of Slimer’s past lives was that of King Remils.  Back in issue 8, it was also established that one of Slimer’s past lives was as a hunger demon.  Busy little guy, ain’t he?
BLOOPER: “Back to the Slimer!”
    Page 8 – Egon shows Peter the connection between Remils and Slimer, as if Slimer was always his name.  It’s been well established that the Ghostbusters are the ones who named him that in the episode “Citizen Ghost”.
BLOOPER: “Ecto-Baby”
Page 19 – The trap goes from having details on its side to being flat, and the doors become gray.
BLOOPER: “Ecto-Baby”
    Page 20 – The ghost is trapped while the doors are still closed and being sucked in the wrong place.
