I often discover after a long phone call that I have wasted an entire pad of sticky notes with doodles. It looks like Kenny Larsen has the same problem.

That's just one of many sketches from Larsen's DeviantArt.com page (as jokerlover94). There has never been a better use of sticky notes.

Trick or treat yourself to my third novel, available just in time for you to give a copy to every little goblin coming to your door tonight!

A Quest Before Dying is the concluding book in the trilogy that begins with The Wizards of Ranaloy and continues with Prince Thorgils' War. The novels are an adaptation of a high-fantasy role-playing game I created and ran.

If you enjoy fantasy novels (or supporting Booster Gold website webmasters), please consider visiting www.CentralKingdomsChronicles.com, where you'll find a free preview of the first chapter of each of the three books. You'll also find links to purchase Kindle eBooks from Amazon.com and paperbacks from CreateSpace.com.

Thanks to all of you who have supported this project.

If you thought Monday's post was old school, take a look at this blast from the past!

That's a promotional header card distributed to comics retailers in 1992. Both halves, left and right, were the covers to Justice League Spectacular (by Dan Jurgens and Ron Randall).

DC heavily promoted the comic at the time, putting the image on posters and buttons in addition to house ads and header cards. And you can Buy It Now for $25 at eBay.com!

Do you like leather jackets? Do you want to dress like actor Eric Martsolf from Smallville? Do you have $178? If you answered yes to all three of those questions, Sky-Seller.com might be the site for you!

Or maybe you'd prefer to save $3 and order from LeatherJackets.com:

Hmm. That image looks awfully familiar. Where have I seen that before? Oh, yes, I remember now:

That's thomdave wearing the costume he had made for Comic-Con 2011. At the time, he credited the costume to Abby Polakow (of Cape & Cowl Creations).

Sky-Seller.com is registered to a private company in Panama. LeatherJackets.com is registered to an apparel company in San Francisco (B.L.K. International) which claims to have been in business for 20 years. If you look closely, you'll see that the LeatherJackets image is a poorly retouched version of the Sky-Seller image (you can clearly see the use of the clone tool to cover where the "Sky-Seller.com" watermark has been removed).

So Sky-Seller "borrowed" and retouched the image from thomdave's original forum post, and LeatherJackets "borrowed" that image and retouched it. Neither of them appear to have anything to do with Polakow, who has her own craft store on etsy.com.

The moral of today's post, boys and girls, is before you trust someone with your $175, you might want to do a bit of homework. Anyone who takes credit for someone else's work might not be the most trustworthy vendor.

Remember that time Booster Gold was transformed into a pig?

Wonder Woman #175

Yeah. That was 15 years ago today.

(Panels like this are why I read comic books.)
