Rich Buckler (born February 6, 1949) is an American comic book artist and penciller, best known for his work on Marvel Comics' ''The Fantastic Four'' in the mid-1970s and for creating the character Deathlok in ''Astonishing Tales'' #25. Buckler has drawn virtually every major character at Marvel and DC, often as a cover artist. ==Career== Buckler's first comics work was as a teenager with the four-page historical story "Freedom Fighters: Washington Attacks Trenton" in the King Features comic book ''Flash Gordon'' #10 (Nov. 1967). At DC Comics, he drew the "Rose and the Thorn: backup stories in ''Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane'' #117-121 (Dec. 1971-April 1972). From September 1973 to January 1974, Buckler drew the first three issues of writer Don McGregor's acclaimed Black Panther series in ''Jungle Action''. In 2010, Comics Bulletin ranked McGregor and Buckler's run on ''Jungle Action'' third on its list of the "Top 10 1970s Marvels". When given the chance in 1974 to draw the ''Fantastic Four'' title, Buckler fulfilled a decade-long dream;〔Thomas, Roy. "Bullpen Bulletins," Marvel comics cover-dated January 1974.〕 he stayed on the title for two years. During this period, Buckler created Deathlok a character which debuted in ''Astonishing Tales'' #25 (Aug. 1974). Also during this period, Buckler hired the young George Pérez as his studio assistant. Buckler collaborated with writer Gerry Conway on a "Superman vs. Shazam!" story published in ''All-New Collectors' Edition'' #C-58 (April 1978).〔(''All-New Collectors' Edition'' #C-58 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 ''The Incredible Hulk'' newspaper strip was drawn by Buckler for approximately six months in 1979. A Justice League story by Conway and Buckler originally intended for ''All-New Collectors' Edition'' saw print in ''Justice League of America'' #210-212 (January 1983-March 1983).〔(''Justice League of America'' #210 ) at the Grand Comics Database〕 He and Roy Thomas launched ''All-Star Squadron'' with a special insert in ''Justice League of America'' #193 (August 1981) which led to the new team's own title the following month. Buckler worked for Archie Comics in 1983-1984, when that publisher briefly revived its Red Circle Comics superhero line and personally recruited Cary Burkett to write the ''Mighty Crusaders'' title. In 1985 he returned to Marvel and had a short but memorable run on the title ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'' with writer Peter David, where they produced the "The Death of Jean DeWolff" storyline. He also served as editor for a short-lived line of comics by Solson Publications, where in 1987 he created ''Reagan's Raiders''.〔(Reagan's Raiders at Don Markstein's Toonopedia )〕 He is the author of two books: ''How to Become a Comic Book Artist'' and '' How to Draw Superheroes ''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rich Buckler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
