ComicBook/RocketRaccoon is a Creator/MarvelComics character created by Creator/BillMantlo and Keith Giffen, first appearing in ''Marvel Preview #7'' (dated Summer 1976) as a supporting character for Prince Wayfinder in ''The Sword in the Star'' story. His next and mainstream appearance was in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk #271'' with Hulk teleported to Rocket's homeworld temporarily to finally gain his own 4-issue miniseries in 1985, illustrated noneless by [[ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} Mike Mignola]] that continued the plot on that Hulk's issue.
His story goes as this: Rocket Raccoon comes from Halfworld, a planet in the Keystone Quadrant, inhabitated by FunnyAnimals and HumanAliens called as the "Loonies", descendants of the first humanoids on the Quadrant. To keep save the Loonies, the former were genetically modified to guard and save them, getting their own consciousness and becoming this into a WorldOfFunnyAnimals. Rocket is TheHero of the Keystone Quadrant, [[TheCaptain its guardian and savior]], who has to struggle against the own plans of Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne, who want to rule the Quadrant by themselves. Rocket also has various allies, as his sidekick and partner Wal Rus, a walrus, and his [[InterspeciesRomance girlfriend]] Lylla, an otter who's also the DamselInDistress of the series, as well having his own CoolSpaceship, the "Rakk 'n' Ruin".
After the mini-series, Rocket all but disappeared save for a few guest appearances in the pages of ''ComicBook/SheHulk'' and ''ComicBook/{{Quasar}}'' in TheNineties. It wasn't until the 2007 event ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}'' in which he appeared again as a support character for ComicBook/StarLord with his backstory and personality changed completely, now being an AntiHero than a straight hero, as a kind of [[ContinuityReboot rebooted]] character.
For the current version of Rocket (post-''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}''), see [[ComicBook/RocketRaccoon his main page]] as well ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and ''ComicBook/Rocket2017''.
!!Classic Rocket Raccoon provides examples of:
* AlliterativeName: Not just Rocket, also various of his allies and enemies used this like Judson Jakes, the Keystone Kops, the Black Bunny Brigade, and so on.
* AnimalSuperhero: He's a Raccoon, created to watch over an insane asylum because it was believed that the inmates would react more positively to adorable animal guards and caretakers than aliens.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Blackjack O'Hare, of course.
* BarefootCartoonAnimal: Rocket usually goes barefoot, subverted with his rocket shoes he used to transport on the ground as well fly in space.
* BigBad: It's between Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne, depending of the plot.
** BigBadDuumvirate: In the 1985 mini-series, both villains teamed up to kill Rocket.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The little guy to Wal Rus's big guy.
* TheCameo:
** Even when it's based on the rebooted version, the DLC costume for Rocket in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' is the green spacesuit used in the 1985 mini-series. Also in the same game, his winquotes against Hulk are refered to their encounter in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk #271'' and even calling him "jade jaws" as in that comic book.
** Rocket himself appears with ComicBook/SheHulk and ComicBook/{{Quasar}}, as well is mentioned in other issues of ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' before his reboot.
** Wal Rus, Lylla, Blackjack and the other FunnyAnimals were barely mentioned by the rebooted Rocket for years until they finally returns in ''ComicBook/Rocket2017''.
* TheCaptain: Rocket is considered as this for the Keystone Quadrant.
* CompilationRerelease: The 1985 mini-series, as well his appearances in ''The Incredible Hulk'' and ''Marvel Premiere'' were compiled by Marvel in 2011 with the name of "[[MarketBasedTitle Rocket Raccoon: Guardian of the Keystone Quadrant]]".

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Both Judson Jakes and Lord Dyvyne are the toys providers of the Loonies, making big corporations that are in continuous rivalry.
* DamselInDistress: Lylla, usually kidnapped by Judson Jakes or Lord Dyvyne.
* DeathByCameo: Peter David responded to fan requests to bring back Rocket in his ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'' run by having his skinned pelt appear as a trophy in an alien warlord's ship. Thankfully for old Rocky, this was not a canon death for him.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: In the end, Rocket goes single and Lylla stays with Blackjack O'Hare.
* TheDragon:
** Blackjack O'Hare, even when he has [[DragonWithAnAgenda his own plans]].
** Uncle Pyko is also this for Judson Jakes, the second-in-command.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Since it's considered as non-canon, his first appearance in ''Marvel Premiere'' is known as this, with Rocket placed in Witch-World instead Halfworld.
* EnemyMine: He's worked alongside Blackjack O'Hare almost as often as the two have opposed each other.
* EvilVsEvil: Judson Jakes vs. Lord Dyvyne for the toys supremacy in the 1985 mini-series.
* FunnyAnimal: All of the characters of the Keystone Quadrant.
* GunsAkimbo: Rocket is plenty of guns to use, but not so exaggeratedly as the rebooted version.
* TheHero: Not just of his own titles, also is considered as this for Halfworld as his guardian.

* MonsterClown: Judson Jakes' MechaMooks are despised as killer clowns.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous:
** In a way - his name comes from Music/TheBeatles song "[[Music/TheWhiteAlbum Rocky Raccoon]]". Add Rocky as his nickname and [[https://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/308/files/2014/07/hulk-271-splash-page-closeup.jpg this intro]]...
** Same for Wal Rus, probably inspired by the song "[[Music/MagicalMysteryTour I Am the Walrus]]".
* OddFriendship: With Hulk... and the Loonies in general.
