Celebrating Brian Augustyn

It was announced yesterday that former DC Comics editor Brian Augustyn has died at the age of 67.

Only 5 people have edited more of Booster Gold's comic book adventures than Augustyn, who among other things oversaw the Justice League during the mid-1990s period that Booster wore — and was later trapped inside — an ungainly suit of metal armor. Those were interesting times for Booster.

Augustyn began editing Justice League comics with 1992's Justice League Spectacular #1, in which the international league re-formed under the supervision of Superman (America) and Green Lantern (Europe), and lasted until after that incarnation had fractured further into something more... Extreme!

While key moments of the Justice League America-slash-International-slash-Task Force crossover "Judgment Day" event have recently been relevant to issues of The Human Target, most of those 90s adventures remain largely forgotten in the decades since. However, if anything Augustyn oversaw will last forever, it may well be this:

As far as legacies go, that's not so bad.

Thanks, Brian.
