Spooks Illustrated

Spooks Illustrated^[1] is a magazine published by Charles Foster Hearse.^[2]^[3] He created a publishing empire based on his love of the supernatural.^[4]^[5]

History[]

In their childhood, Ray Stantz read Spooks Illustrated and Egon Spengler always wanted to be on the cover.^[6]^[7]

Hearse's grandson, Charles Foster Hearse III invited the Ghostbusters to compete for the magazine's annual Ghost Hunter of the Year award.^[8] All four Ghostbusters wouldn't accept the award individually, thus they all appeared in the Ghost Hunter of the Year edition.
