What is Sonic the Comic?
Sonic The Comic is a UK comic that ran from 1993 to 2002 and was published by Fleetway Editions. It's well known within the Sonic fandom for its unique interpretations of the characters and lore, with the most iconic being Sonic himself and his alter ego, Super Sonic. Over the years it adapted many of the games and introduced many comic-only favourites too.A podcast called Sonic the Comic the Podcast is currently running, revisiting each issue in real time offset by 26 years.

Issue 2 recreates The Origin of Sonic from STC Issue #8.The Origin of Sonic was one of Nigel Kitching's first contributions to STC and was pivotal in setting the direction the comic took for nearly 100 issues. It also adapts Sonic and Robotnik's backstory from the storybook Stay Sonic, which remained crucial to the comic until its very end.Read the full comic here!
