Henery Hawk

Henery Hawk is a pint-sized, fiercely determined chicken hawk who first appeared in Looney Tunes animation and crossed into Dell comics in 1946. Despite his tiny stature, he boldly pursues his quarry — most famously Foghorn Leghorn — with outsized confidence and tenacity.

Few characters in the Golden Age Looney Tunes comics canon carry quite the outsized personality of Henery Hawk, who strutted onto the page in Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies Comics #51 in 1946 and never really left — racking up appearances across 74 years and sharing ink with beloved company like Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Petunia Pig. A Dell Comics fixture, Henery found his natural home across Porky Pig, Looney Tunes, and Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, the flagship titles that defined funny-animal comics for generations of young readers. With three key-issue appearances flagged by collectors, this pint-sized powerhouse has earned genuine significance in the hobby beyond mere nostalgia. For anyone building a serious Looney Tunes comics collection, Henery Hawk is absolutely worth tracking down.
