Porky Pig Comics

This is a list of Porky Pig comics published by Gold Key (with GEMs highlighted).  The Gold Key issues were preceded as well as followed by other comic brands (Dell and Whitman) which featured the same character, and these other comics are also included in the list.  For each comic listed, there are links to the following: (a) Wiki page (from the Grand Comics Database, or GCD), (b) e-book (available upon request), and (c) More info on each comic (via optional posts by various contributors).  [Note: In some cases where there is a set of consecutive issues listed as one entry, the Wiki link takes you to the first issue in the set, and the ‘Next Issue’ link will take you to the later issues.]

Please note that the list is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)  You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.

Porky Pig is a classic Looney Tunes character who first appeared in animated short films in the mid-1930s.  He later made his debut in comic books, appearing in many Four Color Comics in the 1940s and eventually getting his own Dell title in 1952.  The Dell series continued until 1962, at which point the title was picked up by Gold Key Comics (restarting the numbering with issue #1).  The Gold Key series continued until 1984 (the last few being published under the Whitman brand) and featured new and reprinted stories featuring Porky and his Looney Tunes cohorts.

The Porky Pig comics had a number of contributors, among them writer Don Christensen and artists Tony Strobl, Fred Abranz and Phil De Lara.  Throughout both the Dell and Gold Key series, Porky Pig was often accompanied by supporting characters such as Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.  These characters would often become involved in Porky’s wacky adventures, either as helpers or as sources of comic relief.  Overall, the Porky Pig comics have been a beloved part of the Looney Tunes franchise’s history and provided readers with countless laughs and heartwarming moments over the years.  A cover gallery of Porky Pig comics can be found here.
