Original Karl Kesel Suicide Squad for Mayfair RPG

I came across this almost at random on some auction web site to raise money for John Ostrander in regards to glaucoma which is something he suffers from. Unfortunately I have no idea what the status of his condition is now but if someone else out there does please feel free to enlighten the rest of us. So art was done by no stranger to the Suicide Squad, Karl Kesel. In this case it was some sort of cover art for what is described as the Belle Reve source book http://paizo.com/products/btpy8mky?DC-Heroes-RPG-The-Belle-Reve-Sourcebook. I like it a lot it's a really well drawn piece especially with the dramatic perspective it gives the viewer. Notice how every one in it is in some state of distress except for ol Digger who's in his usual give a damn about the mission or anybody but himself kinda attitude? Even though I've never been into role playing games looking at this really miss the Squad of the old DCU.

 Thanks for the heads up Dale about Ales Kot getting bumped from the Suicide Squad that was kinda interesting. Just think think folks, with every choice we make we literally create a new world in which history branches off into new realities. That means on another Earth in another universe there was no DC Reboot and in yet another the rebooted Suicide Squad looked very much like the Ostrander series. But on this Earth, I think my feelings about Kot and the Suicide Squad title can best be summed up but Owl Man's last line in this clip from Crisis On Two Earths: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-rl0tfQO9E
