The Rocket Raccoon miniseries was a four issue comic event that occurred in 1985. It was written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Mike Mignola. The series took place on half world where Rocket and his anthropomorphic allies fought killer clowns with lethal juggling balls and deadly unicycles and who spoke in a stilted language full of alliteration and rhyme.
Rocket and his animal companions were genetically manipulated animals with human level intelligence and a bipedal body construction. They were created to be caretakers of the inmates (or "loonies) on the verdant side of halfworld. Rocket was a guard who protected the colony against various threats.
Rocket and his friends ultimately cured the inmates of their mental illnesses and then took off into space for their own adventures.
