Boris Mealey[2] is a New York photographer[3] for Random Choice Publishing and showed the Ghostbusters around Tombstone, Arizona.
History[]
When Dewey Lamort was booked to appear in Tombstone, Boris was assigned to take publicity shots for Lamort's new book "Earpo."[4] Boris wasn't happy when he discovered he was going west to Arizona, not Pennsylvania. During a press conference, Boris was among the crowd when Wyatt Earp manifested.
Boris was later assigned to show the Ghostbusters around Tombstone. He picked them up on the road when their rental car broke down from an overheated radiator. After hearing Peter Venkman talk, Boris elected to pair off with anyone but him. He went with Winston Zeddemore and saw the Ghostbuster buried in newspapers printed by Virgil Earp. Boris returned to his car and waited for the Ghostbusters to come back from their showdown with the Earp Gang.
Trivia[]
- In the September 4, 1986 draft of "Ghost Fight at the O.K. Corral", at the end of the story, Boris chases after the Ghostbusters, in the rental car, after he realizes he was left behind.[5]
- Mitch the Photographer in Ghostbusters Volume 2 Issue #2 is visually based on Boris.
