Next July, Dark Horse Books will publish The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History, a new full-color art book chronicling the history of the iconic animated series.

Written by Troy Benjamin (Marvel Cinematic Universe Guidebook: The Avengers Initiative, Ghostbusters: Ectomobile: Owner’s Workshop Manual) and Craig Goldberg (Yes Have Some Podcast), The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History will be available in both a hardcover edition and a deluxe edition in Summer 2025

The book combines rare and never-before-seen visuals, including conceptual artwork, storyboards, script excerpts, internal memos, packaging art, unseen prototypes, abandoned concepts, and brand-new stunning photography with new and exclusive interviews in the hardcover edition.

“The Real Ghostbusters is so widely-known and still beloved by people of all ages,” said Goldberg.

Benjamin added, “As knowledgeable fans ourselves, Craig and I discovered through the interviews how little has been revealed about the whole story behind the series and toys. There’s so much in this book for new and old fans alike, told through the eyes of those who were there.”

The art book will also be available in a deluxe edition, which includes an exclusive firehouse-inspired slipcase, a folio enclosing two acetate “animation cel” replicas, and a unique firehouse flagpole ribbon bookmark.

The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History (9” x 12”, 240 pages, hardcover) will be available in bookstores on July 8, 2025 and in comic shops on July 9, 2025.
