Which Rich did which comics? Are they related? Is Rich Buckler Sr. the one that drew Justice League and World's Finest Comics for DC?

Are they even different people? What comics have "Rich Buckler, Jr." in the credits? I'd be able to tell from that.
Rich started out as a pretty straight Neal Adams clone, went with a Jack Kirby clone thing when he was doing mostly covers, and seemed to go back to the Adams thing after that.

I believe Rich Buckler, Jr., son of the better-known Rich Buckler, made his debut in comics with
this "masterpiece" (http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=fullsize&issue=03229357648%201). He was just a little kid at the time he created this character, the Amazing Wahzoo, as was proudly announced in the Comics Buyers' Guide. While he didn't appear to exactly be an artistic prodigy, his work wasn't that far below the standard for Solson Publications...which, unfortunately, isn't saying much. Solson represented the nadir of the 80's B&W comics boom, and I'm kind of in awe of how many of those wretched books got racked in my local comics shop. Those who weren't around to see them are very, very lucky.

That looks like Nickelodeon's next big hit cartoon :D
I have old DC comics from the early 80's (World's Finest, Justice League of America) drawn by "Rich Buckler", but the "Jr./Sr." thing is not there, so I don't know. I assumed that "Jr." did a lot of 80's and 90's stuff, but anything from the early 80's and before may have been drawn by "Sr."
