Justice League America #33 - Dec. 1989

Comics Weekend When I talked about Aquaman's excellent two-part guest-starring role in Justice League America #s 33 and 34, I was reminded in the comments section that Aquaman actually shows up in the end of this issue!

I used to own a copy of this issue; I have no idea what happened to it and I'm a little surprised I didn't remember Aquaman's appearance myself.

Anyway, after the issue's main plot concerning Guy Gardner and Kilowog, it moves onto the sub-plot of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle ending up in possession of the remote island KooeyKooeyKooey.
