On this day in 1988, Booster Gold made the cover of Time magazine.

It might be hard for modern audiences to believe, but for most of the 20th century, the cover of Time magazine was among the most prestigious pieces of real estate for notable newsmakers. In other words, if you made the cover of Time magazine, you had arrived.

Even if you had already appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Over dinner last week, an old friend boldly called Boosterrific.com incomplete. He claimed he had found a book with a Booster Gold appearance that wasn't listed on the site. That book was Starman #1. ("Not the James Robinson one. The other one.")

He was right. Check it out:

Starman Volume 1, #1, words by Roger Stern, pictures by Tom Lyle, Bob Smith, Julianna Ferriter

Somehow, I had missed Booster Gold on the cover of Time magazine! Oversight corrected.

Thank you, Michael Foster, for making Boosterrific.com more complete than ever!
