Kenneth Olin Maynard (July 21, 1895 – March 23, 1973) was an American motion picture stuntman and actor. 
He appeared in more than 90 films over 20 years with his white cowboy hat,
 fancy shirt, and a pair of six-shooters.

Maynard was born in Vevay, Indiana, one of five children, another of whom,
his lookalike younger brother, Kermit, would also become an actor; most audience members assumed that Kermit was his brother’s identical twin.
Ken Maynard began working at carnivals and circuses, where he became
 an accomplished horseman. As a young man, he performed in rodeos and was a trick rider
with Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

Maynard served in the United States Army during World War I. After the war,
 Maynard returned to show business as a circus rider with Ringling Brothers. When the circus was playing in Los Angeles, California, actor Buck Jones encouraged Maynard
to try working in the movies.
Maynard soon had a contract with Fox Studios.

The Real Ghostbusters Marvel UK is the UK published comic series.

 It was based on The Real Ghostbusters Animated TV Show. 

Published by Marvel Comics Ltd.
It was more like the Now comics Slimer! with he multiple stories and different small segments, and aimed very specifically at younger children.
 It was also fortnightly (bi-weekly) to begin with, before going weekly for most of its run. The series ended it’s last few issues in monthly format, and was by then only reprints of older stories. 

The comics generally consisted of three comic strips, a text story (usually Winston’s Diary), a Spengler’s Spirit Guide Page, and half-page Slimer strip. 
Some of the stories made in the comic series also got reprinted by NOW Comics.
