Skeets comes out of unwilling retirement briefly in 1991's Adventures of Superman #476, though only as the bait for Booster Gold, but it's Superman who will get caught in the time-traveling Linear Man's trap. Trouble for Superman means opportunity for Booster Gold!

Time travel stories always give author/artist Dan Jurgens a headache, too, Lois. Pro tip: It helps if you think fourth dimensionally.

After Booster Gold quit the Justice League in Justice League America #37, released February 13, 1990, it would be a while before he played any significant role in another comic book.

He appears in one panel of Mister Miracle #14, four panels of Animal Man #22, six panels in Justice League America #38, three panels in Time Masters #4 (covering the same ground as his appearance in Animal Man #22). He is briefly at the funeral for Mister Miracle in Justice League America#40 and Mister Miracle #17. He appears in one panel of a dream sequence in Justice League America#41, has several entries in the 1990 loose-leaf edition of Who's Who in the DC Universe, and shows up in just a couple of panels of Mister Miracle #19.

It wouldn't be until November 6, 1990, before Booster Gold returned to a significant role, as leader of the Conglomerate in Justice League Quarterly #1.

Justice League Quarterly #1 is one of my favorite comics, and easily ranks among "The 12 Best Booster Gold Stories Ever." Which is why it is so hard for me to pick out just one page as my favorite of the issue.

If you were to put a Booster Shot to my head, I suppose I'd have to go with page 13.

Golly, I love this comic.

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.
