So no sooner do I imply that I'd like to see Howard Chaykin darw Booster Gold than does TheBlotSays come to the rescue. And Chaykin is just one of six fabulous artists he's lined-up in his Booster Gold sketchbook. Check it out:

You can see the whole sketchbook in much larger detail (including Art Adam's accompanying drawing of Skeets!) at The Blot Says' Flickr page. And while you're out there, consider popping on over to The Blot's blog, TheBlotSays.com, where you'll find some other pretty awesome articles about art and comics and toys and things. Thanks for sharing, Blot!

[UPDATE 08/20/2012: Speaking of sharing, if you see this message, Jesster, can you please get in touch with me at Webmaster at Boosterrific dot com? There's a fellow looking for some reference art, and I was hoping you might be able to lend a hand.]

Last month, Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues gave us Skeet's new team. With the JLI on hiatus and Skeets going his own way, it was only a matter of time before Booster sought out new company, too.

If DC and Marvel can't get their acts together to give us comics this good, at least we have Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues to make everything right in the world.

As the politicians keep reminding us in this election year, the global economy is bad, our taxes are too high, and job growth is far too slow. Even our heroes are feeling the pinch!

The above image of Blue and Gold on the skids (even broke, they're funny) was drawn by Michael Littlefield Bielaski. You can see more of his work as daerave at DeviantArt.com.

The best thing about fan art is that it gives us the opportunity to see things denied to us by official canon. Like NuBooster Gold and post-Crisis Blue Beetle.

Seeing the two together makes me suspect that perhaps DC won't bring Ted Kord back because Booster Gold is now wearing Ted's old pants.

This sepia-tinged watercolor (and its split-windshield Skeets, complete with rope ladder action!) was created by German artist therealRIZ. Riz has quite a bit of impressive, comic book-related work in his gallery at Deviant Art.

So we won't be seeing Skeets before Justice League International draws to a close with issue #12. Maybe that's because our favorite sidekick is just too busy with its own adventures.

Sadly, this is another comic that should but doesn't exist, as brought to us by Super-Team Family ...The Lost Issues. This beauty would be worth the expense at ten times the cover price! (Thanks to The Irredeemable Shag of FirestormFan.com for the link.)
