Buzz Buzzard

Buzz Buzzard is a scheming, villainous buzzard who debuted in the Woody Woodpecker comic series published by Dell, serving as one of Woody's recurring antagonists. A conniving troublemaker by nature, he exists to cause mischief and conflict for the mischievous woodpecker.

Few comic villains wear their personality quite so openly as Buzz Buzzard, whose very name tells you everything you need to know about his intentions. Hatched in the pages of Dell's Four Color #390 in 1952 — right in the heart of the Golden Age — this scheming scavenger was brought to life by Dick Hall and went on to ruffle feathers across Walter Lantz titles for an impressive 24 years. He turns up most reliably wherever Woody Woodpecker, Andy Panda, and Chilly Willy are causing mischief, making him a fixture of Dell's beloved Lantz funny-animal universe. With 26 catalog appearances spread across some of the most cheerfully chaotic comics of the mid-twentieth century, Buzz is a delightful reminder of just how much personality a well-named bird can carry.
