Want to own a piece of the first battle between Booster Gold and the evil Supernova? Now you can!

This original art by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund from Booster Gold, Volume 2, #3 is for sale on ComicArtFans.com. The asking price is $165.00, but that's a small price to pay for a piece of history!

UPDATE 2014-04-30: This seems as good a post as any to note that Newsarama.com confirms that Jurgens will be writing the upcoming Booster Gold:Futures End one-shot. No word yet on the artists.

In a recent peek through my long boxes, I found two issues that I had failed to put into the Booster Gold non-chronological appearances database here at Boosterrific.com.

Those are the covers to Independent Comic Group's Millennium Index. Those two issues were published in 1988 to catalog the comics and characters appearing in DC's Millennium event. (ICG must have licensed the use of the "Millennum" masthead.) In many ways, like DC's Who's Who, those comics were the pre-World Wide Web equivalent of websites like Boosterrific.com.

I'm sure I originally overlooked these because they weren't published by DC Comics. However, as you can see, Booster Gold appears on Joe Stanton's cover of Millennium Index #1. As you can't see, Dan Jurgen's cover to Booster Gold, Volume 1, #25, appears inside Millennium Index #2. These two issues are chock-full of Booster Gold references.

Anyway, I've finally added these to the more-complete-than-ever Boosterrific comic book index. Could there be other books out there that I'm still missing? If you come across one, please let me know.

I'm suffering from a string of migraine headaches that are making it very difficult to sit in front of a computer monitor. So for the time being, all you're getting is this panel from Booster Gold, Volume 1, #13.

Nice bedside manner, Nurse Ratched.

I've always loved inker Gary Martin's nearly minimalist approach with this issue. His style has always felt appropriate for the very 1980s adventures of a very 1980s hero, and turned Dan Jurgens' traditional action-adventure layouts into a noir motion picture, especially as we finally get Booster's sad-sack take on his own twisted origin story. You can find some of Gary Martin's work in his gallery on DeviantArt.com.

Booster had to travel to the future for a cure to his illness. Hopefully, some caffeine and aspirin will take care of mine. (It's hard to type without looking at what you're doing.)

Morgenstern hasn't bought a DC comic in months, but he's still trolling the web for Booster Gold. And today he's found for us Dan Jurgens talking Booster Gold with Con Men at the 2013 Phoenix Comicon.

Asked whether or not Jurgens thinks Booster's pre-Flashpoint DCU memories survived the transition to the New 52 DCnU, he says, "[Booster] was outside time and space. Draw your own conclusions.... I think it's pretty clear."

Thanks, Morgenstern. (Also thanks to Con Men Interviews and, of course, Dan Jurgens!)

Earlier this week, DC released solicitations for books shipping in May. One of those books is a mini-series in which a hero will travel backwards through time in order to prevent an impending apocalypse. That series is Armageddon 2001 The Kingdom Infinite Crisis Futures End. Naturally, this time-traveling hero will be Booster Gold Batman. Because you can never have enough Batman.

With that premise, with Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens writing, and with Jurgens occasionally drawing, it seems impossible that Booster Gold won't at least appear somewhere in this series. Where that somewhere will be is anyone's guess. (The "entire DC Universe" is in issue #2. Booster wouldn't miss that, would he?)

We'll keep our eyes open for signs of our hero this May.
