History ComicBook / SoulsearchersAndCompany

* TakeThat: #6 is an issue long 'Take That' against UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks and Creator/ImageComics in particular.

''Soulsearchers and Company'' began as a transplant. Richard Howell and Creator/PeterDavid had put together a series concept for Creator/MarvelComics featuring a team of ghostbusters led by two already-extant, already-married characters. (Comic Book Resources [[https://www.cbr.com/hellstorm-hellcat-series-inspired-independent-comic/ says]] Comicbook/{{Hellcat}} and Hellstorm, pointing out Howell had already written a pilot for this in ''Marvel Fanfare''.) Marvel passed on the offer, so Richard and Peter refashioned the cast to make the property creator-owned, then began it from scratch, at Claypool The group's members included: the fiery former Olympic gymnast Bridget Lockridge; her foil (and eventual husband) Baraka, the fire demon from an Arabic Hell, the apprentice witch Kelly Hollister; Janocz, a shape-changing gypsy boy; Peter P. Peterson, an accountant with a magic bag (out of which he can produce--apparently--anything); and the business' original leader, the acerbic talking prairie dog Arnold Stanley. In later years, the centauress Hot-2-Trot would join the ranks, then leave. Also signing up was Gabriel, a local Mystic Grove boy who was gifted--by Nadine the ditzy angel--with a gun that disabled evil supernaturals.

* DreamLand: #3, Dweeb (a parody of Dream from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'') hires the team to discover who is interfering with the town's ability to sleep, and there fore dream. To investigate, Baraka (who is a demon and does not need to sleep) has to enter the dreamscape of Bridget, the strongest willed member of the team.

* BalefulPolymorph: Arnold Stanley was transformed into a talking prairie dog by an EvilSorceror.

* CaptainObvious: Spoofed in an issue where the opening caption reads: ''What if Soulsearchers And Company talked like 1960's Creator/HannaBarbera heroes?''
