Ads count too? Oh man.. I saw some of those (like the Ambush Bug), but looks like you covered those I saw.

No need for credit regarding that.. It's all for Boosterrific afterall, the best (and only?) Booster Gold encyclopedia! (but also the best database/news regarding a character - both amongst Marvel or DC ones - I've ever seen!)

I'll check this out this weekend, during the week it's a bit harder to find some time :P

Actually, that's the whole point here. I'd never seen a site dedicated to charting the minutiae of the DCU and its publications from the viewpoint of a character. The dcuguide.com and cosmicteams.com do a great job of the monumental task of trying to track the DC universe as a whole. I thought that by narrowing scope, I could dial it in a bit and provide all the little details for a particular character. It's the little details that make things Boosterrific!

So I'll take any help that I can get to track down every appearance of Booster Gold. Sure, Boosterrific.com has more Booster Gold information than any other site on the web, but I won't be satisfied until it has all the Booster Gold information!
*rubs hands together maniacally*
Bwah-ha-ha!

mh...come to think of it..aren't there magazines about comics? (or at least used to be before the internet)? With articles & reviews about new and ongoing comics? If so, should there not be several with articles and ads for Booster Gold?

Boosterrific.com is focused on the canonical adventures of Booster Gold. That means within DC Comics publications, typically comic books. I'm not strictly excluding other published periodicals, but they are outside of my primary focus and therefore secondary to my mission.

Since I haven't found any magazine articles devoted to the adventures of Booster Gold, there has been no reason to figure out how to catalog them. I suspect that I would be most likely to find references to Booster in WIZARD magazine. At this time I have no intention of doing the research involved with WIZARD to find any Booster-centric articles, if they do exist.

Twomorrows publications are the next likely source, and I do check in their magazines occasionally. To date, I am unaware of anything devoted to Booster there, either. (I keep my eye open for Dan Jurgens stuff, since I figure most Booster-centric articles will have to involve him in some way.)

Most of Booster's press has come in the internet era, and I have no intention of tracking mere mentions of Booster Gold on the web. I'll gladly mention fan websites devoted to Booster on the Other Media page (with a few exceptions).

But if anyone ever finds any Booster Gold content anywhere, ever, I invite them to bring it to my attention. I may choose not to add that content to Boosterrific.com, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested in it.

Finally found...some of it!!

Lately rather than following current modern issues I've found myself reading some "old" DC comics, as in old but still post-crisis DC stuff. Series from the 80s/90s mostly. I thought I remembered seeing Booster in some panels but not where exactly.
At first I thought it was one of those obscure minis and series like Blue Devil, Ragman, etc.. but it really was in Wonder Woman!
I've been reading WW from George Pérez reboot to Greg Rucka. That's a lot of books, mostly on my spare time at work, at lunch, etc.. :P
Anyways, now I'm sure I might have come across Booster in some panels from time to time.

And since I didn't find (almost) any WW comic in Boosterrific database...

I've been checking some books out, and I already found him at least in Wonder Woman #175, page 11, panel 5:

During the Last Laugh event, WW was having her own mini-event with the sorceress Circe turning every male into hybrid monsters and animals and trapping NYC under a magical dome. Booster was changed into a (random) pig. Sidenote: Blue Beetle was actually a blue beetle :P
I'll try finding some. I'm pretty sure I've seen him from time to time, maybe in Pérez earlier issues.

Excellent! Thanks, Eyz.

I'm not sure if this one really counts.

But look what I found in an ad for DC comics book in The Heckler #2 from Oct. '92
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d63/e ... erDCAd.jpg
The JLI including GOLD as usual Booster!
It's funny I've seen these kind of Subscription ads in lots of other books (including the other issues of the Heckler) but the characters represented are usually Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman not the whole JLI gang! (they were "big" in 92 though~)

Yes, it counts. You'll find that subscription card on the ads page here:
http://www.boosterrific.com/comics/ads.php

The only other place I had confirmed that ad was in JUSTICE LEAGUE EUROPE #43, but I'm sure it must appear in other 1992 issues as well.
