Bronze Age

These comics detail the first appearances of the Rocket Racoon character. They detail his initial origin and establish his connection to Halfworld, a connection that remains present in many of his future comic appearances. However, many of the facts introduced here are retconned or altered in subsequent comics .

Despite these retcons, many elements from this prototype Star-Lord would go on to influence the modern version of the character. This includes his signature weapon, elements from his costume, and pieces of his history. For these reasons, reading about this version of the character can give fans a better picture of the modern version of the character.
