📘 Series Summary
Created, written, and illustrated by the legendary Dan Jurgens, Booster Gold Volume 1 introduced one of the most unique and enduring characters of the post-Crisis DC Universe. Michael Jon Carter, a disgraced athlete from the 25th century, steals high-tech museum artifacts and a security robot named Skeets to travel back to the 20th century. His goal isn't just to be a hero—it's to be a celebrity, complete with corporate sponsorships, a movie deal, and his own "Goldstar, Inc." brand.
The series is a masterful blend of sci-fi action and satire on the emerging celebrity culture of the 1980s. Over 25 issues, Booster struggles to balance his quest for fame with the genuine dangers of being a hero, facing threats like the 1000, Blackguard, and his own future pursuers. This run established the foundation for Booster’s evolution from a "showboat" to a true hero, featuring critical crossovers with Millennium and guest appearances by Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes. It remains a definitive piece of Bronze Age history and the birthplace of a DC icon.
