Richard "Rich" Buckler is an American comic book artist and penciller, best known for his work on Marvel Comics' The Fantastic Four in the mid-1970s and, with writer Doug Moench, co-creating the character Deathlok in Astonishing Tales #25.
Buckler broke into comics at age 18, with the four-page historical story "Freedom Fighters: Washington Attacks Trenton" in the King Features comic book Flash Gordon #10, November 1967. Four years passed before Buckler left his native Detroit, Michigan, and moved to New York City at the recommendation of comics legend Jack Kirby, to whom he had sent art samples.
Buckler has drawn virtually every major character at Marvel and DC, often as a cover artist.
In the mid-1980s he had a short run on the title Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man with writer Peter David, where they produced the "Death of Jean DeWolff" storyline.
Other notable work includes his collaboration with writer Don McGregor on the acclaimed 1970s Black Panther series in Jungle Action.
He is the author of two books: How to Become a Comic Book Artist and How to Draw Superheroes. With his artist son Rick Buckler Jr. and artist Walter McDaniel Buckler formed Visage Studios.
