Remembering Artist Rich Buckler
Remembering artist Rich Buckler on his birthday (February 6, 1949 - May 19, 2017) with a couple of his covers for Secret Society of Super-Villains (#13 and #14, March and April-May, 1978), where Captain Comet, the hero dedicated to fight the villains, gets thrown off the dimensional path, so instead of following them to Earth-2, ends up on Earth-3, where he fights the villains who looked like heroes, the Crime Syndicate of America, specifically Johnny Quick, Superwoman and Power Ring.
