It's been 544 days since Booster Gold's last significant appearance in a DC comic book. That's 1 year, 5 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days — and counting!

With Booster Gold all but blacklisted from the DCnU, it's comforting to think back to a time when our hero was often seen actively protecting the innocent people of the DC Universe.

Take, for example, this scene from Captain Atom #16, released on this date in 1988:

Captain Atom #16 by Cary Bates, Greg Weisman, Pat Broderick, Bob Smith, Shelley Eiber, and Duncan Andrews

Fear not, Booster boosters. Whether you see him or not, Booster Gold will never rest so long as there are still trees to smash. I feel better already!

"The Silver and Gold Podcast" is back for more!

A podcast featuring discussions of the adventures of Booster Gold and Captain Atom is like chocolate and peanut butter. How can you resist? (I suppose in this simile, Booster Gold is the chocolate. Everybody loves chocolate.)

Today the Captain Atom blog (CaptainAtomBlog.com) debuts its new "Silver and Gold Podcast" covering the original 1980s runs of DC Comics' Captain Atom and Booster Gold series.

It's a natural fit: the two characters, both new to the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Universe and both something other than what they publicly pretended to be, soon found themselves in the Justice League International. They would cross-over into each other's series and develop a relationship that would last through the "extreme" 1990s and beyond.

You can find the podcast at SoundCloud.com.

And if listening to talk about Booster and the good Captain should whet your appetite for more comics, know that through the end of the month, DC Comics is having a sale — up to 70% off — on digital trades, including collections of Booster Gold and Captain Atom. You can find those deals at Comixology.com. (But go listen to the podcast first!)
