At long last, someone has finally sated the need for a Booster Gold appearance in one of those classic Hostess Pie advertisements ubiquitous in Bronze Age comics. Bill Walko recently submitted the following image to Comic Book Resources' "The Line it is Drawn" column as part of its try-out for new regular artists.

Click the image above to go see a better, larger copy of the ad (and other fine works) at Walko's website, The Hero Business. As Skeets would say, "word."

You can also vote for Walko as your favorite in the contest at Comic Book Resources, although you would be advised to take a look at the entries first. There is an image of Booster Gold with Bone and several other teaming Booster with Doctor Who. But don't drag your feet, voting ends Thursday.

Happy Thanksgiving. Take your time, enjoy your meal. Let Booster Gold take care of the dishes.

Artist Erica Henderson hints that she wants to do a 2013 DC beefcake calendar on her blog I Fail At Life, That's Why I Became An Artist. That sounds like something we can give thanks for.

Booster sure thinks he is. But a better question is whether his audience thinks so. After yesterday's beach pic, it's only natural to ask if you find Booster Gold attractive.

Yes, he is a comic book character, and his personal appearance varies widely from artist to artist. But he is always young and blond and has a quarterback's physique. Booster is also always charming, funny, and even pretty smart. On the flip side, he's often flippant, selfish, and kind of a cad, at least publicly. Do all of Booster's qualities sum to a turn-on or a turn-off?

Today's Boosterrific Poll has gone Cosmopolitan and is specifically tied to this question, so speak up. I know I specifically asked the ladies, but if you're a guy, you can vote, too; there's no wrong answer here. Inquiring minds just want to know.

Since SallyP scooped me by including Booster Gold's topless exercise routine from Booster Gold, Vol. 1, #18 in her beefcake roll call yesterday, for Boosterrific's final installment in her Green Lantern's Butt Forever's Beefcake Week, I give you not Booster Gold but Supernova:
