The latest generation of Ghostbusters face off against the ghost of Captain Kidd and his fleet of ghostly pirates!

Now that they’re getting the hang of busting ghosts in the Big Apple, the Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop.


While Trevor tries to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe struggles to genuinely connect with her classmates. Things seem to be looking up when she meets Sammy, a fellow outsider who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when Phoebe’s new friend uses a cursed saber and accidentally summons the ghost of Captain Kidd, who threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town!

Jump back in with the Ghostbusters in the second comics series collection, exploring their adventures in New York! Written by David M. Booher, with art by Aviv Or, colors by Cris Peter, and lettering by Comicraft’s Jimmy Betancourt.

Collects Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1­–#4.
David M. Booher grew up in a small Ohio town reading Stephen King, watching The Goonies, eating Lucky Charms in front of He-Man, trading Garbage Pail Kids, playing Nintendo, and going outside. Channeling his love for all the best 1980’s sci-fi and fantasy, he has co-created and written comic series CANTO, POWERLESS, the LGBTQ-led KILLER QUEENS, ALIEN BOUNTY HUNTER, and the middle grade series TALES OF LAKE EERIE. He's also written several features. A lawyer by training, he lives in Los Angeles with his husband and the true masterminds behind their operation--their adopted greyhounds.

Aviv Or (she/her) is an illustrator and comic artist, living in London, UK, and definitely should be getting out more to enjoy that fact. She started drawing seriously around age 13, when she realised she could never become one of the X-Men herself, so drawing it would be the next best thing.

Nowadays she works mainly in and around tabletop roleplaying games: creating artwork for books, designing characters for streams, and illustrating comics. She is also the co-creator of the webcomic Crystal Heart, about – you guessed it – roleplaying games.

Her portfolio is at avivor.com, and she shares art, makes silly word games, and smashes the Like button on pictures of food and adorable animals as @avivor on Bluesky.
