Booster Gold appears in bit parts in about a half dozen comics released in January 1990, so let's skip ahead to his next significant role, Justice League America #37. How significant? Well...

Oh, boy. Looks like tempers are flaring. (That may be because Fire is sizzling! Way to liven up a scene, Adam Hughes.) At the end of the day, they're all friends. I'm sure cooler heads will prevail, and it'll all blow over, right?

So long, Justice League!

If you've ever read Justice League International Special #1, you already know what my favorite page is.

And if you haven't read Justice League International Special #1, what are you waiting for?

Early on in Time Masters #1, we are introduced to Rip Hunter's grandfather. The man we see is clearly not Booster Carter's father, but he very well could be Booster's father-in-law. (We still don't know who Booster will marry.)

But Booster boosters don't have to rely on retroactive continuity to find links to Booster Gold in the issue. Booster himself swoops in on page 15, and he is quickly given a demonstration of Hunter's latest experiments.

"Hard to trust anybody"? Hmm. Like father, like son.

When we last visited my favorite pages, Booster Gold and his BFF had just spent all of the Justice League's money on an island casino that promptly went bankrupt. Oops.

That's a pretty big cliffhanger. However, this feature is supposed to present comics in chronological order of publication, which means I should be discussing Booster's appearance in Doom Patrol #29. But since I already posted the only 4 pages of that issue that feature Booster Gold here (my favorite being page 23), let's skip ahead to the good stuff: Justice League America #35, where Blue and Gold have to deal with the aftermath of their terrible, terrible idea.

Adam Hughes art, Giffen/DeMatteis action-adventure/sitcom... yeah, like I said, good stuff.

I consider Justice League of America #34, featuring the infamous Club JLI fiasco on KooeyKooeyKooey island, to be among "The 12 Best Booster Gold Stories Ever" for a very good reason: it's very, very good.

I explained my reasoning here, but no matter what I write about it, the best argument can be found in pages like this:

James Gunn could do a lot worse than adapting that!
