Last time around, I talked about how I’m not feeling particularly interested in reading contemporary superhero comic at the moment. My focus seems to be more on reading new creator-owned or creator-driven comics, rather than corporate-owned ones (with some exceptions; Star Wars, Doctor Who, Conan, and Immortal Hulk, I am looking at you). So, ironically, this week, I am going to talk about a character who has become one of the most mainstream of mainstream superhero characters. But he arguably wasn’t always that way, and that’s what I was reminded of when I recently read a collection of the first 12 issues of Booster Gold, written and drawn by his creator, Dan Jurgens. That, and how much I enjoyed these comics when they were first released.
