Following the sales and critical success of titles like Batman/Elmer Fudd, more of Warner Bros classic cartoon characters will get the DC Universe treatment this August as DC revealed a new quartet of DC/Looney Tunes special one-shot issues, written and drawn by some of the top names in the DC talent family. Each 48-page issue hits comic book retailers on Wednesday, August 29, includes both a main and bonus story featuring the title characters and will sell for $4.99.
For Superman fans, you’ll want to check out the LEX LUTHOR/ PORKY PIG SPECIAL #1, which is written by MARK RUSSELL, with art by BRAD WALKER and ANDREW HENNESSY.
The issue also features a backup story written by JIM FANNING, with art by JOHN LOTER. The cover (shown right) is by BEN OLIVER.
Facing financial and personal ruin, a desperate Porky Pig applies for and gets and entry-level position with LexCorp. Grateful to his new benefactor, Porky becomes Luthor’s most loyal employee and defender. But when a major scandal breaks in the news and Lex is called before a Congressional Committee, guess who is about to be offered up as the sacrificial pig?

Why the heck would you ever try to make Porky Pig realistic and adult human sized? He just looks like Professor Pyg ..except maybe even more creepy since it’s not a mask.
at first glance, I actually thought it was professor Pig
It is…Professor Porky Pig!!!
If I may…
[Porky Pig] It’s horri…horri…horri….it’s…di di di di…IT’S GROSS! [/Porky Pig]
I would’ve thought that Lex Luthor meeting Elmer Fudd would’ve made more sense.
