It's just so magnificent.

Of course, I'm talking about that t-shirt.

Two weeks ago, Boosterrific.com was looking for some posters and received terrific support from you readers. Now we're hoping that you'll give Boosterrific.com the shirts off your backs!

The shirt above featuring Kevin Maguire's Super Buddies was brought to my attention last weekend by Russ Burlingame. Booster is hard to see for the shadow, but he is in that group shot looking over Beetle's right shoulder. A search for more information about that shirt has led to hints that there have been several DC licensed shirts released over the years featuring group images (JLI, Super Buddies) that may contain Booster Gold.

If you have any information about a t-shirt that depicts Booster Gold, please let us know either in the comments or via email to webmaster at Boosterrific.com. Thank you for your support.

This time last year, I reported on the keywords that were bringing people to Boosterrific.com. This site gets quite a few more hits daily now versus one year ago (averaging about 3 to 1 now over then), so let's take another look at Google Analytics and see what else has changed in a year.

1. boosterrific
2. booster gold
3. boosteriffic
4. boosterific
5. booster gold jacket
6. booster gold fansite
7. jli pose
8. broderick booster gold
9. www.boosteriffic.com
10. eurocrime elongated man

There are two things to learn here. One, "Boosterrific" is hard to spell. Two, a lot of people out there are still really curious about Eurocrime. Maybe DC needs to look into rebooting an Elongated Man series.

Booster Gold was referenced in a recent post on the Wired.com Geek Dad blog. In fact, a reference to Booster Gold was the opening hook for Corrina Lawson's article "An Open Letter to DC Comics, Part 2: Are You Really Trying to Appeal to New Readers?":

After leading with the above edited image of Rip Hunter's infamous chalkboard, Lawson goes on to make her argument about DC's reboot in part by pointing out the relative obscurity of Elongated Man and Jason Todd. I'm a big Booster booster and no fan of DC's reboot plans, but if those two characters are your definition of obscure, you might not want to lead off your argument with a reference to Booster Gold.

So far as I am aware, there are two internet journalists regularly writing Booster Gold-centric articles. One is Russ Burlingame, who most of you probably know from his "Gold Exchange" columns over at Comic Related. The other is Vaneta Rogers of Newsarama, who last week posted a new interview with some other familiar Booster Gold-related names, Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis, on their upcoming DC Retroactive: Justice League of America - The '90s #1.

Nrama: What Justice League characters are the focus?

DeMatteis: It's the classic team. Fire and Ice. Beetle and Booster. Max and Oberon. J'onn and Guy. If you're looking for any kind of character growth from these guys, look elsewhere. It's the usual idiocy and mayhem.

Giffen: If people are huge fans, it's the JLI they know and love. You'll recognize it right away.

Before DC heads into the digital future, they are celebrating their moronic past. Sometimes it's best not to ask too many questions. You can read the whole interview at Newsarama.com.

Today is the birthday of the one-and-only Dan Jurgens, creator of Booster Gold and soon-to-be writer of the first-ever Justice League International #1. This year, Jurgens turns the magic number at DC: 52! Let there be cake!

Form more information about Jurgens and his upcoming plans for the JLI, check out his 3-part interview with John Babos over at insidepulse.com: part 1 (JLI & DC), part 2 (Green Arrow), part 3 (Booster Gold).
