"Why should I let myself be used for the profits of others?"
—Booster Gold, Booster Gold #16, 1987
The chronological adventures of Booster Gold have been depicted exclusively in comic book form, however the character has escaped the 4-color pages of comic books to appear in a variety of other media. Surely this would make Booster quite proud.

Advertised at "30-inch by 31-inch", this poster by Kevin Maguire and Terry Austin was released by DC Comics to promote the formation of the Justice League International in 1987's Justice League International #7. (Image provided by Jesster.)
Booster Gold was included in the "giant one-sheet" Justice League Poster released in 1991 to celebrate the "new direction" of the Justice League America and Justice League Europe titles launched with Justice League Spectacular. According to the solicitation in the February 1992 Direct Currents newsletter, "Superman commands the center of attention as he assumes the helm of the League in this full-process color poster featuring the entire new lineup of JLA and JLE." The 22-inch by 28-inch poster was drawn by Dan Jurgens, inked by Rick Burchett, and sold for $5.95. (Image provided by Jesster.)
Following Superman's 1992 death, DC celebrated the life of Superman by releasing several posters. This 28-inch by 40-inch poster by Dan Jurgens and Brett Breeding -- a smaller version was included in the polybagged Superman #75 -- shows the mourners at Superman's funeral. This image is not intended to depict the actual events of Superman's funeral (as seen in Superman: Man of Steel #20), instead including many of the most prominent heroes and villains of the DC Universe. Booster Gold is prominent among the front line of mourners. (Due to licensing issues, an altered version of this image can be found in the Death of Superman trading cards.)
Another of the several posters released by DC Comics to celebrate Superman following his 1992 death, this 16-inch by 21-inch poster includes Booster Gold (upper right) and many other DC Universe heroes honoring Superman in art by Dan Jurgens. (The alternate side of this poster showcases Superman/Doomsday art by Tom Grummet.)
In conjunction with the release of Action Comics #1000, DC Comics released the "Action Comics 80 Years of Superman" 27" by 40" poster featuring all one thousand Action Comics covers.
Booster Gold appears multiple times, having previously appeared on covers starting with 1987's Action Comics #595. The poster was released on April 18, 2018, with a $9.99 suggested retail price.
