One of the links should have the updated link to the Marvel website about this character along with the other pages.
I don't know where DoctorWorm7 gets off doing this, but I wrote this article completely out of my own memory of the comic which I have in my own collection.
And no, I can't prove it because the text was written on the fly and there is no way I can prove a negative. Rather, DoctorWorm7 has to prove that I plaigerized, which is impossible. Furthermore, after examining the text, I assert it plaigerized from this article.

Did RR first appear in Hulk vol. 2 #271, or in Marvel Preview #7 (Summer 1976)? This effects the creators: are they Bill Mantlo, Sal Buscema, and Al Milgrom or Terry Austin, Bill Mantlo, and Keith Giffen. The page got updated here. Someone who knows, please comment. - Peregrine Fisher 06:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Just from my memory of being a comics fan at the time, his first appearance was indeed the Incredible Hulk. I don't have the Marvel Preview issue, but the only references on the web to Rocket Raccoon even being in that issue are wikipedia references. Looks like wrong information to me.

In the back of the very first issue of the miniseries there is a afterword about Rocket raccoon where the creator/author himself acknowledges Rockets first appearance is in Marvel Preview. Why the confusion? -- Wiskayjack ( talk) 19:28, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
It's actually the editor - Carl Potts - who wrote the text in the back of the first issue, and he references Marvel Preview #16, not MP #7. No raccoons in MP #16, so it's probably a mistake, and the general idea is still true - someone at Marvel is saying it's the same character - but this entry should probably be updated to say that it's not Mantlo himself confirming it.
Can someone who understands this rewrite it so it is coherent? "...which included some elements such as the purported sum of all knowledge on that colony was a book called "Gideon's Bible"." 82.152.209.198 ( talk) 23:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there anyway this character inspired the character Science Dog from the Invincible comic series? That series draws heavily from Marvel and DC and parodies many of the characters there. Just though maybe Science Dog is a bit similar to Rocket Racoon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.198.227 ( talk) 02:54, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

So which is it? Or is it different in the comic and on TV? -- Thnidu ( talk) 04:12, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
An extended promotional preview on USA Network on 7/20/2014 hints at this ambiguity with an exchange between Quill and Rocket:
Quill: "I've had a lot of folks try to kill me over the years, but I ain't about to be brought down by a tree and a talking raccoon."
Rocket: "What's a raccoon?"
Quill: "What's a raccoon? That's what you are, stupid!"
Rocket: "There ain't nothing like me, 'cept me."

Probably too trivial to include, but the first time Rocket Raccoon can be seen in a movie goes back to 1984, when a character can be seen reading Incredible Hulk issue 271 in, of all films, Supergirl. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 17:40, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
