Boosterrific Needs Your Help!
I've decided I need to add all issues from 1985-1986 containing DC house advertisements for the original Booster Gold series to the database here at Boosterrific. (It was an early decision not to include them, and I'm just now reversing myself.) I know that the ad was a DC house ad that ran in books cover-dated February 1986. However, I don't know if it ran in every book that month. For example, the DC house ad on page 12 of Booster Gold #1 that month was for 'Mazing Man. Therefore, I need to put my hands on every book released that month and confirm its presence. The following books have been confirmed to carry the house ad:
- Ambush Bug Stocking Stuffer #1
- Batman #392
- Batman and the Outsiders, Vol. 1, #30
- Crisis on Infinite Earths #11
- DC Challenge #4
- Detective Comics #559
If anyone of you out there reading this were to come across any other issues, please let me know. You will, of course, receive proper credit for any instances that you turn up that are not already in the database. Thanks for the help.

Thank You, Mike
Boosterrific.com would like to offer a hearty "thank you" to Mike Harlow for his very generous gift of an original Booster Gold promotional pin offered in 1985 by DC Comics to promote Booster Gold, Volume 1, #1. Mike, this is a perfect example of my motivation for maintaining Boosterrific: phat loot.

Brave and the Bold: Bat Divided
Booster Gold appeared briefly on the Cartoon Network's Batman: The Brave and the Bold last Friday as the unwitting contestant in "Riddle Me This?", a mock television game show masquerading for the Riddler's latest death trap for Batman. The episode, "A Bat Divided!" was amusing throughout despite the brief screen time of the Corporate Crusader. Of particular amusement was the Riddler's silencing of Skeets through the clever application of a simple cloth gag. That's good television.
