Who is Foghorn Leghorn?

Foghorn Leghorn is a boisterously loud, fast-talking rooster from the classic Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, whose barnyard antics and unstoppable self-confidence make him a comedic force among his fellow farm animals.

That loud, lovable rooster Foghorn Leghorn has been holding court in comic books since his 1955 Golden Age debut in Bugs Bunny's Trick 'n' Treat Halloween Fun #3, brought to the page by Ken Champin. Over an extraordinary seven-decade publishing run β€” spanning Dell's classic era right through to 2025 β€” he's racked up 61 catalog appearances across beloved titles like Looney Tunes, Porky Pig, and Bugs Bunny's Trick 'n' Treat Halloween Fun, sharing panels with the cream of the Looney Tunes crowd: Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Henery Hawk, Elmer Fudd, and Petunia Pig. With a key collector's issue to his name and a presence that has endured across generations of funny-animal comics, this big-talking barnyard legend is far more than a supporting player β€” he's a genuine piece of American cartoon history in print form, and any Looney Tunes collection worth its salt has a place for him.
