Sonic Comic

Sonic the Hedgehog Story Comic is a three-volume promotional comic for Sonic the Hedgehog distributed alongside the Japanese magazine Mega Drive Fan. The comic tells the story of the first game, with Sonic traversing across South Island and rescuing his animal friends from Dr. Eggman. As the comic was created before the final release of the game, there is a number of references to old concepts and prototype material. Sonic is the lead singer of a band, travels through Sparkling Zone and Clockwork Zone, and the final issue details how Sonic became the mascot of a deceased pilot.

*Sonic Comic* was an ongoing series of one-shot comics written and illustrated by Toyoda Eitarou. They were released every Friday (sometimes on a Thursday) on the Sonic Channel website to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog. Each comic centers around one character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series in an everyday situation, and features elements in conjunction with the character introduction column and the games the character has been featured in.
