Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) February 5, 2009 -- They've battled sliming phantasms, a towering marshmallow mascot, demon-possessed paintings and more. And now the Ghostbusters are ready to face off against the paranormal on your iPhone and iPod Touch, courtesy of Uclick, the #1 distributor of comics and manga on mobile. Issue 1 of the comic book series Ghostbusters: The Other Side from IDW Publishing is available now for download on the iPhone App Store at $.99(US) cents, with more issues scheduled for release in the coming weeks.

With special 25th anniversary DVD and Blu-ray™ editions of the 1984 movie and a new video game for the PC, Playstation® 3, XBox 360®, Nintendo® Wii™ and Nintendo® DS™ slated for summer 2009 release, interest in Ghostbusters remains extremely high. Ghostbusters: The Other Side, by comics veterans Keith Champagne and Tom Nguyen, stars the same characters made famous in the original Ghostbusters movies, as Drs. Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore come face to face with the ghosts of some of the most notorious gangsters in history.

"I think everyone loves the idea of these four geeky, wisecracking scientists taking on threats that would evoke sheer terror in any sane person," said Uclick CEO Douglas Edwards. "Fans of the Ghostbusters movies are going to love reading this story on the iPhone and iPod Touch, because it's a new way to experience these characters. Ghostbusters: The Other Side is an original comic book story that perfectly captures the horror comedy elements and anti-hero spirit of the movies."
