Herbert Fung emailed me a few weeks back with this cosplay pic he snapped at Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo 2014 in April:
Thank you, Herbert. I still say the colors in that costume are more vibrant than in a comic book! (Check out those airbrushed abs!)
In related news, today is opening day of DragonCon in Atlanta, GA. There's always plenty of DC cosplayers at DragonCon, so here's fingers crossed that we'll see more Booster Gold cosplay pics maybe as soon as Tuesday. (Reminder: Monday is Labor Day, so no post.)

I love this costume a lot, did you buy it from bonhoo.com?
Herbert Fung posted on Sep. 4, 2014 at 12:06 AM
I only took the photo, I have no info on the cosplayer himself or the source of the costume.

David dropped by the comments on Tuesday's post about C2E2 cosplayers to point out that I had left out an important participant. Namely, I'd left out him. And he seems none to happy about that. Clearly, he went through a lot of trouble to let me know.
Sorry about that oversight, David. I'd hate to miss a Booster Gold costume with a sweet collar like that. I'll try to be more thorough in the future. Or the past. Or whenever. (Time travel is so complicated.)

Haha this shouldn't make me feel like as much of an asshole as it does. My booster went largely unnoticed, other than the pictures I took I couldn't find any.
As far as Booster goes, I'm a super fan, I even have Booster Gold and Blue Beetle tattooed on my arm. It's basically a serious medical condition.
As far as the costume goes I wasn't upset you missed me, Boosteriffic is just the only place I know that appreciated the Corporate Crusader as much as me.
The design is mine actually, I'm an independent comic book artist, it came out of a discussion about back to the future and Booster getting stuck in the fifties. The idea being he had to have Ted rebuild their equipment and it ended up like a bad 80s movie about the fifties.
The jacket is all leather, custom made by the lovely peachykiki.
Stay golden, and thanks for the love lol.

Enjoy the spotlight, David, and don't feel embarrassed. Demanding your due is the Booster Gold way!
(We're going to need proof of that Blue and Gold tattoo, by the way.)

I'd love to know what you wonderful Booster Buddies think of all this.

The first thing that I have to say is, "a Norm Breyfogle Batman tattoo?" You know he's never drawn Booster Gold, don't you?
Clearly, you are a Booster Gold superfan, David. I tip my goggles to you, sir.

How is it convention season again already? Where does the time go? Fortunately for us, RottenTomatoes.com has harvested some Booster Gold cosplay pics from this year's Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo.
So far this season we've seen a fat Booster, a tall Booster, and a girl Booster. It's starting to look like Booster Gold has his own "family," classic Captain Marvel-style! Shazam!
You can see all 137 of Rotten Tomatoes' C2E2 cosplay pics here.

Don't worry, David. We'll get this oversight corrected! (Check back on Friday.)

According to IGN.com, DC reps promised fans at this weekend's Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (aka C2E2) that they will soon see more Booster Gold in the DCnU. That's in addition to his current run in All-Star Western, and that sounds like good news indeed!
Also from C2E2 (but as Herbert Fung points out in the comments below, not the Chicago one — this was the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo which is held on the same weekend) comes this Booster Gold sketch commission from Adam Hughes:
This sketch was taken home by Booster booster Herbert Fung. Thanks for sharing with us, Herbert!

Just a slight correction, Adam Hughes was at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo<br /><br />Same weekend and initials as the Chicago counter part

Dang! All right, I adjusted the post to make that correction. Sorry, Herbert!
