Rick Burchett (born March 9, 1952)[1] is an American comic book artist known for his work on such characters as Batman and Superman.
Around 1985, Burchett and artist Don Secrease met a young aspiring artist and fellow St. Louis citizen named Jim Lee, and convinced him that he needed to show his portfolio to editors in person, prompting Lee's decision to attend a New York comics convention,[3] where he met editor Archie Goodwin.

Also in 2011, Burchett became the artist for the ongoing webcomic Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether, written by Greg Rucka.
