If Liefeld drew Booster he'd never have feet... and I just can't imaging Booster's uniform with pouches all over it.

Gotta say, Mike would bring interesting art to Booster Gold.

Also, are we all forgetting this ( http://www.boosterrific.com/news.php?date=2010-04-01&The-Narrow-Miss-Rob-Liefeld-on-Booster-Gold ) post from way back when? We already know what a Liefield Booster would look like

Heh, that prank has legs. Sorry, CDN, but that "Liefeld" drawing was an April Fools Day prank. I actually drew that sketch for the post. So far as I'm aware, Liefeld has never actually drawn Booster Gold.

Great choices (almost) all, but wouldn't someone like Scott Campbell bring more personality and humor to a Booster Gold story.
p.s.
Good-bye Joe, thanks for all the great times.

With one exception, all the artists I chose from this list are versatile masters with a sizable library and a unique style. In short, they are artists of which I'm a fan. (The remaining artist I included as a joke.)

I don't happen to be a fan of Campell's work. He's a slow pin-up artist with weak sequential skills. His characters have only one facial expression and are always posed like they are in the middle of a gymnastics competition. I'm sure he'd draw a very playful Booster Gold, if he ever got around to it and had an excuse to put some unnaturally deformed women in front of him.

Heh. I don't mean to be so rough on the guy. He's clearly got talent and he has earned his fans. He just doesn't pop into my mind when I think "living master," and I don't believe he deserves to be mentioned alongside as Joe Kubert.

The first 3 would do great interpretations, the last 3 I can picture and only like one of them because I think his style is at least fun. I wonder which "non-living" masters that fans would like to have seen draw Booster Gold. Perhaps a good pole question for Halloween, or perhaps a question I missed in the past.

I did ran a "no-longer-working" masters poll in March 2011 in which Curt Swan earned more votes than Jack Kirby. I'm all for re-visiting the question. Everyone has a favorite artist, and there are no wrong answers. (Except J. Scott Campbell. I mean reaaaaaly.)

Friend of the site Harry once suggested I rerun polls frequently to see how my visitors' opinions change over time. Maybe this is a good opportunity to do that.

Nice choices!
I'd go with Romita Jr on this list, at least to see him tackle on some DC characters. I can already picture the way he would do Booster's head more or less.

There's many other I would love to see draw Booster & co (and by co I mean either Jaime or Ted's Blue Beetle, Guy, Ice, Fire..)
Amanda Conner - just to see her Kevin Maguire-esque expressions on the team, Phil Hester would be nice too, Mike Allred now that is someone I want to see "happen" with Booster, Steve Dillon could be neat too.

Damn. Did someone get the number of that bus? Ouch, ok ok I really meant say Gary Frank.
Criticize that choice, go on I dare ya. ;? ...and YES, I do know that he has drawn Booster ONCE (in a couple panels of a book that nobody read), so that probably discounts him. Damn, I just can't win. :(
