Star Invaders Vol. 1, No. 3 (Spring 1985) features a speculative cover story entitled Ghostbusters II, The New Movie - A Projection.
In this issue, the Star Invaders staff speculate as to what a "Ghostbusters II" movie would be like. At this point in time (Spring 1985), no real "Ghostbusters II" was in production. A deal for the real one wasn't even made until 1987 or 1988. In this magazine, a bunch of unknowns are writing their own fan fiction version of "Ghostbusters II" and selling it in magazine form, with a shameless cover promising "exclusive photos" and other misleading headlines.
Looking at the Table of Contents page, the magazine included eight Ghostbusters articles, along with interviews with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kyle Maclachlin, a look at Star Trek deleted scenes, and a pictorial(?) on the sexy women of "V". The Ghostbusters articles (read: fan fiction) are as follows:
- Eddie Murphy in Ghostbusters II
- Ghosts From Outer Space Take Over Washington
- The President Calls In The Ghostbusters
- Special Ghostbuster Weapons
- The Special Effects (How They Were Done)
- Dan Aykroyd's - Ray Stantz
- Bill Murray, Mr. Ghostbuster
- Zombie - Killers On The Loose, Can Ghostbusters Stop Them?
- Giant Painted Ghostbusters Centerfold - By One Of America's Top Artists [mentioned on cover]
