Booster Gold has appeared in two recent publications, one printed, one virtual.

1. Booster Gold appears as a comparison to the vigilante Phoenix Jones in the October 24, 2011, issue of Sports Illustrated magazine. Booster is seen alongside Black Lightning, Wildcat, and Marvel's Northstar. Sports Illustrated has a reported print circulation of 3 million readers and an Alexa ranking as the 53rd most trafficked site on the internet. This means that Booster has just been exposed to a huge market of sports fans! (This appearance noted by Shawn Baston.)

2. Booster Gold is used as a comparison to the television personality Ian Alleyne in Karel McIntosh's November 14, 2011, article appearing on Outlish.com. Booster is used as a counterpoint to Batman in a discussion of Alleyne's motives on his television show Crime Watch. Outlish.com is a virtual magazine targeted at the youth of Trinidad and Tabago that Alexa ranks in the top 500,000 sites on the internet. This means that Booster Gold has just been exposed to a growing international market!

By comparison, Alexa ranks Boosterrific.com only in the top 8 million of sites on the internet. So we'll take every bit of help we can get spreading the good word of Booster Gold, thanks!

In yesterday's comments, Shawn bragged that he could see his letters to DC comics in any comic shop in the country. We at Boosterrific.com aim higher. Shawn, you can now see at least one of your letters at any computer in the world:

That may not quite be Superman flying a little blind girl around the world, but it's the best I could do on short notice.

Thanks to some investigative work by long-time Booster Gold fan and frequent Boosterrific.com contributor Shawn Baston, we now know who Jim Pesl is. In Shawn's own words:

Talked to Dan Jurgens today. I asked him about "Pesl" that shows up in the artwork. It turns out it's the name of an old college buddy of Norm Rapmund from Grand Rapids, and Norm likes to sneek it in from time to time.

So there we have it. Mystery solved. Thanks, Shawn (and Dan), for getting to the bottom of this.

UPDATE, March 2011: Check out the comment from Anonymous below with a little more clarification regarding Jim Pesl. (Sure, it's not exactly from a verified source, but what would someone going by the tag "Anonymous" have to hide?)
