Incredible Hulk #271 May 1982
The Hulk celebrates his 20th Anniversary with one of the most offbeat stories of all.

Following the events of last issue, Hulk hurtles through the void only to run into the marvelous Rocket Raccoon and his band of colorful friends.

Can the Hulk aid Rocket and his crew against the machiavellian Judson Jakes and his sinister scientist, the tortoise Uncle Pyko.

Very cool, thanks for posting. I never knew Rocket came out in 1982 in that Incredible Hulk issue. I always thought, assumed, that the 1985 Rocket Raccoon four issue series was his first appearance.

Rocket looks so different there! Though I guess his current look wasn't established until he joined the GOTG.
