Sonic the Hedgehog #1 (regular series)

"First Issue!" …Er… not really…

Cover

The Freedom Fighters are surrounded by Robotnik and his Badniks!

"Meet Me at the Corner of Hedgehog & Vine!"

Written by Michael Gallagher, penciled by Dave Manak, inked by Bill White, lettered by Bill Yoshida, colored by Lyrad Namlede. "Editor Supreme": Daryl Edelman. Editor in Chief: Richard Goldwater. Special thanks to Bob Harris and Susan Reyes at Sega of America.

R&D Swatbot #693-47892 delivers to Robotnik a sample of the mechanical "plant", Krudzu.

Robotnik has a Burrobot seed the Great Forest with the plant, and the plant soon begins engulfing the forest.

With razor sharp jaws, and vines strong enough to strangle a helpless Mobian, things are looking grim for the Freedom Fighters… but then, a thunderstorm lets loose over the Great Forest, short-circuiting the non-waterproof mecha-nism.

Sonic Bumper Stickers

Oh-kaaaay…

"You Bet My Life!"

Written by Michael Gallagher, pencilled by Dave Manak, inked by Bill White, lettered by Bill Yoshida, colored by Lyrad Namlede.

Sonic heads to the Casino Night Zone to spy on a speech by Dr. Robotnik, but he’s captured by the newest Badnik, Orbinaut, and placed in a giant pinball machine. (What is it about Sonic and pinball, anyway?)

Sonic breaks free and blows the casino up.

"I’d Like to Thank…" (1-page gag strip)

Sonic wins the First (and probably last) Annual Acorn Awards.

"Keep Looking Up!" (1-page gag strip)

Sonic answers the question, "At what speed do you legs become those blurry wheels?"

"Fast Food" (1-page gag strip, with recipe)

How Sonic makes a chilidog.

Sonic-Grams

Daryl plugs "the upcoming" Sonic cartoon, Mark Mitchell asks if any villains from Sonic 2 will appear in the comic (that’s an affirmative), Acme Kid and Don Lewis say how much they loved the mini-series, and Tim Fichera asks if there’ll be a Streets of Rage comic (I believe that was a negative).

Final Thoughts

A fine example of the first year-or-so of the comic—it’s really no more than a low risk bit of Sonic merchandising, in the form of a humorous comic that fits in nicely with the other Archie titles…But it handles that role with flying colors.
