I was always struck by how Buckler consistently swiped from Kirby and Adams, the two most prominent artists in the field, artists so visible that everyone, both fans and professionals, would see his obvious swiping.
I've often cited Keith Giffen as another major swiper. But at least Giffen swiped mostly from French artist Duillet (whose work mostly appeared in the U.S. in the early issues of HEAVY METAL). And later another European artist Jose Munoz. Although Giffen clearly borrows a lot from Kirby as well.
I always thought of Buckler as the Rob Liefeld of the 1970's.
