  1. Looks like Buckler was familiar with Al Williamson's EC work. Good story.

  3. I was gonna say myself: channelling Williamson much. Buckler seemed to go through several imitator periods - or at least a Neal Adams phase as well

  4. Rich Buckler is providing all new material in the style of the old Warren books for a new publication titled "The Creeps." Buckler proudly proclaims his influences which are wide and varied, but never denied. You can see more at www.thecreepsmagazine.com
