Road Runner

Road Runner is the lightning-fast bird from the Looney Tunes universe, perpetually pursued by the hapless Wile E. Coyote. His comics adventures, beginning in 1968, translate his animated antics — endless chases, narrow escapes, and signature 'Beep Beep' — into print alongside fellow Looney Tunes stars.

Few cartoon icons have made the leap to comics pages with such enduring charm as Road Runner, who first blazed into Silver Age print in Archie's Madhouse #64 in 1968, brought to life by creator Gus Lemoine. Over an remarkable 56-year publishing run, this beloved Looney Tunes speedster has called DC home, appearing most prominently in Looney Tunes and Beep Beep the Road Runner, racking up 62 catalog appearances alongside the cream of the Looney Tunes roster — Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, Elmer Fudd, and Sylvester. With at least one key collector issue to their name and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2024, Road Runner is a Silver Age gem that proves some characters never go out of style — meep meep indeed.
