August 28, 2025 - Throwback Thursday - Rocket Raccoon #1-#4

Hey there, Adventurers!

Six months! It's been six months since Adventures in Ink opened the doors back in February. Thank you all so much for the support and showing up week after week for comics, games, hanging out, and adding to our story.

It's Thursday, so let's do a #ThrowbackThursday and take a look at a mini-series from the mid-80s featuring everyone's favorite galactic guardian: Rocket Raccoon.

Rocket originally appeared in a back up story in a Marvel comic in the late 1970s, and he made his official Marvel Universe debut in The Incredible Hulk. His next appearance would be in his four-issue limited series.

In the story, Rocket and his friends are caretakers for a humanoid species that requires constant supervision. Rocket has a book from the previous rulers that he's been trying to decipher because he believes it holds the key to help him and the people he protects.

Of course, there's some shenanigans with, "Bring me the book" or "Get the book" and all of that.

The series featured art from Mike Mignola who would go on to create Hellboy, the B.P.R.D., and several other creator-owned titles.

Thanks for checking out this episode. Thanks for the past six months and looking forward to the next six months!
