Many of you have let me know that some of my image pairings & arrangements pop up in other venues such as Facebook Swipe groups (esp. the great COMICS SWIPES Facebook group). Well, I'm flattered the posts are popular and that people enjoy PANELOCITY's swipes and "inspired bys", regardless of where they are presented. After all, the Internet is meant for sharing, right?

  1. I'm thinking less and less of him as a good artist and more and more as a great researcher!

    1. LOL. Well, he had help. Don't forget he often had assistants such as George Pérez (when GP was starting out). Pérez has noted that as Buckler's assistant he "didn't get to do all that much beyond look for Kirby references..." (Modern Masters Volume Two: George Perez, 16-17).
