About the series
From 1986 to 1988, Dan Jurgens wrote and drew this 25-issue DC series introducing the time-traveling, fame-chasing Booster Gold—a former college football star from the 25th century named Michael Jon Carter who uses future technology to become a superhero in the present. Alongside his robotic sidekick Skeets and his savvy assistant Trixie Collins, Booster navigates the challenges of heroism while crossing paths with Superman. The series matters for launching one of DC’s most distinctive characters, blending humor, ambition, and a keen eye on celebrity culture within the superhero genre.
