Fourth Titan book hits shelves
Posted on November 15, 2006
Titan’s fourth collection of UK Real Ghostbusters comics, This Ghost is Toast!, hit the shelves a couple of weeks ago. I dropped by my comic local and got my copy. The book, in it’s unique micro-prestige format, contains several comic stories and a random helping of Spengler’s Spirit Guide, including my favorite, “Er, Love.”
Thanks to Randy for reminding me - it’s been sitting in my shoulder bag for a week and I’d totally forgotten about it.

Now if only Amazon.com would re-add it to their site, then all would be right with the world. I was just forced to buy it from MileHighComics.com and pay the extra shipping, whereas I would have paid NO shipping at Amazon and it could have been included as part of a larger order.
Amazon deleted the listing that they once had up and gave me a stupid pre-written answer as to why (see e-mail below). By deleting the listing, they prevent third-party sellers from offering the book through Amazon.com.
Also, does anyone know if there will be any more Real Ghostbusters books published by Titan, or are these four going to be the only ones? I haven’t heard anything back from Titan yet.
