While reading some recently acquired 1997 back issues, I came across a DC Comics house ad for DC Comics Online via AOL. ("Keyword: Chat DC" because that's how the World Wide Web worked back in your parent's day, kids!) The ad includes the cover of Adventures in the DC Universe #1 showcasing the animated Justice League, including Booster Gold. (He's obscured, but he's there.) So I added the ad to the Boosterrific! Advertisements page here.

That wasn't the only ad I spotted while reading back issues. I'd long been aware of this 40-year-old one for subscriptions (featuring Jose Garcia-Lopez art) but had never added it to Boosterrific.com before because it only mentions Booster Gold (twice!) without ever showing him.

from Super Powers Volume 3, #3, November 1986

Oversight corrected.

What do you think, Booster boosters? Should I add this one to the rest of the house ads, even though Booster is unseen? I'm not as opposed to that idea as I once was, but I still think that comics where Booster is mentioned shouldn't be cataloged with the rest. (Who collects books for mere mentions of other characters?) Maybe it's right that I still only include ads where Booster is seen.

I'm not going to try to convince you that DC's 1993 "Bloodlines" event is great. I'm not even going to try to convince you that it's worth reading. But even the bad events have their fun moments, like this one from Bloodlines #1:

There's no wrong time to quote Star Wars. Though, next time, Booster, you might want to quote someone who doesn't fail at his job.

As if there was any doubt after the last two issues, today's Action Comics #1098 definitely has plenty of Booster Gold in it, as proven by the issue preview at AIPTComics.com.

Buy this issue and make Skeets happy.
