[QUOTE]It's understandable why many people here would be disappointed by that tribute page mostly due to Deathlok not being featured but I think it's pretty fitting if you know a bit more about it.
Rich Buckler's contribution to Marvel was significant but Fantastic Four was probably his most prolific run. Medusa joined the FF during his time on the book when Sue Storm took a short break from the team and the Inhumans were featured a lot around that time.
All three of these characters from above were taken from the cover of FF 149 and if you check the trivia on the Marvel wikia page you'll see this written: “This cover was one of several pieces of Marvel artwork used for marketing purposes by Mead school products. It was reproduced on the covers of several items, including a 3-ring binder, a 2-pocket portfolio, and a spiral notebook.”
This promotion with Mead for school products may very well be his most widely seen artwork and I certainly remember it when I was in gr ade school in the 1970's.
RIP Rich Buckler (from a Marvel Bronze Age fan who enjoyed your work… Deathlok especially)[/QUOTE][/CENTER]
