I’ve started collecting the old Fleetway Sonic the Comic’s. I used to send my drawings in hoping they’d get picked for the art page, but looking back I clearly wasn’t using the right style to capture the editors’ eyes

Issue #1 of Sonic the Comic, with a retro sonic style cartoon, and free stickers still attached to the cover

Issue #131 of Sonic the Comic with a slightly updated art style with Amy Rose in combat trousers, but no stickers

The art page from issue #131, with a voluptuous Tails in an England flag dress

I've been trying to put a little tribute on the end of an episode for months now and I can't seem to figure out how to start

A little tribute to @swirlymuse.bsky.social who sadly passed earlier this year. She was the best person in the world at drawing Super Sonic and one of the kindest people I knew

Two coloured sketches of STC Super Sonic. On the left hes flying into the air, fists clenched leaving a white trail behind him. On the right he is standing and holding out a green emerald while fire forms at his feet

Said, didn't I! Kintobor wasn't a weird British idea, setting aside that the Americans made it up and it was first published as a comic there, here's proof that it was the official Sega backstory on sega.com until the turn of the century

Out now: SONIC THE COMIC THE PODCAST #164! At last, it's the beginning of the end for Shanazar - but a visit from The Grink turns this into VERY silly episode! PLUS: The funniest way to have diarrhoea! AND: Teenage Sonic fandom internet beef!

Hey I made a Sonic fan comic that I'm calling "Hedgehog With Attitude". Here are the first three pages. Check it out and maybe I'll continue it when I have more time.

Five panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: South Island, a'la 8-bit Sonic 1.
Narration Box: South Island, that mystical place across the sea. The travelling isle that people call magical.
That's where it all happened, if the rumours are true.

PANEL 2: A silhouette of what looks like Sonic.
Narration Box: A lightning fast hero saved the peaceful island from becoming something else. Something sinister.
He struck like a force of nature. Like an overpowering wind.

PANEL 3: Silhouettes of Sonic and Eggman over a sunset, the Egg Mobile falling apart and belching smoke.
Narration Box: The despicable villain who threatened to use South Island in his awful machinations was chased away...

PANEL 4: The sun rises in the background of silhouetted flowers.
Narration Box: ...And peace was restored in the blink of an eye.

PANEL 5: Tails, in Green Hill Zone, talking excitedly in front of a shadowed furry figure, wearing a yellow backpack and holding a newspaper cutout of something vaguely spiky.
Tails: So yeah, I had to go see it for myself! The place where he saved the world!
‘Cause maybe then I could meet him in person! That hero…

Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: Close-up of Tails' hands holding the newspaper cutout, a glimpse of a story on a Sonic-like figure moving in a blur.
Tails: Mr. Spikes!

PANEL 2: A female squirrel wearing overalls and a male rabbit wearing a turtleneck and jacket exchange dubious glances.

PANEL 3: They turn to face Tails.
Squirrel: Uh, we actually call him Sonic.
Rabbit: Yeah, dunno where you got THAT name from.

PANEL 4: Tails, continuing to look excited.
Tails: Oh, that’s way cooler! I guess the news got a bit distorted by the time it reached my island.
Still!! Do you know where I can find him? That, er, Sonic person?

PANEL 5: All three characters, the squirrel and rabbit explaining to an expectant, curious Tails.
Squirrel: Well he doesn't really stick around for very long.
Rabbit: His whole thing is speed, after all. Just... zippin' around the place.
I only ever saw him once or twice, to be honest.

PANEL 6: Tails, walking off with vigour and a smile, as the squirrel waves him off with some small concern.
Tails: Um, that's fine! I'll find him myself!
I'll just look for the fastest, spikiest thing in the area!
Squirrel: Good luck with that, kid...

Six panel comic page of a Sonic fancomic.

PANEL 1: Tails continuing to walk further into Green Hill Zone, grasping his backpack straps tightly with a big grin on his face and closed eyes. The squirrel's hand can just be seen poking out the edge of the panel.
Squirrel: ...We only ever see him when something's going wrong.
Tails: Okay! Straight into danger I go, then!

PANEL 2: Tails squints and scratches his head.

PANEL 3: We see the peaceful Green Hill Zone spread out in front of him, with a tall seal talking to someone offscreen, a shuttle loop in the distance and flowers dotted around. A butterly flutters nearby and a slightly reddish rock is beside Tails. We view him from behind as he stares at this scene.
Tails: There doesn't appear to be any of that going on right now.
I mean, I guess peace WAS restored and all...

PANEL 4: Tails rests an arm on the rock, which looks even more reddish in this light. He narrows his eyes, clearly disappointed.
Tails: But what's a guy gotta do to find some good ol'-fashioned peril around here?

PANEL 5: The "rock" turns around and is a Moto Bug badnik. Tails' tails perk up and he has a nervous, overly large grin on his face as he raises a finger victoriously.
Tails: Now that's more like it!

PANEL 6: Tails is running away panicked with a wide open mouth as the Moto Bug chases. We can just see it aggressively slashing its metal claws at him as its whole form does not fit in the panel, just peeking in from the left.
Tails: YUP THAT'S SOME QUALITY DANGER RIGHT THERE AAAAA

Been forcing myself to keep away from anything work-related on Saturdays lately.

This morning it’s reading an iconic issue of Sonic the Comic.

@sonicpodcast.bsky.social Still have my 35p mini comic!

I know neither of you are Ren and Stimpy fans but there was a REEEEALLY great R&S time travel "choose your own adventure comic" where, because it could repeat pages, the story was longer than the actual comic. I was *obsessed *with it

What if one of you knows who drew this?

Friend of the show @shoogles.bsky.social bought some second-hand STCs more than a decade ago and this was inside one of the issues. Clearly, some prime Graphic Zone stuff here but apparently never sent? Or was it!

Anyway, it's unsigned, so WHO DREW THIS?

A child's fanart of Dr Sonic and Mr Hedgehog, where Sonic's holding a potion flask and half of him has turned into Super Sonic, with early Graphic Zone twirlies around him

2 page spread from Sonic the Comic showing Sonic falling from the sky next to the Master Emerald. Behind him the Death Egg is about blow up after being hit by a huge ass laser beam coming from the center of the Floating Island. In between there's a squad of Egg Robos chasing and firing at Sonic.
Sonic sez: "Man, looks like it's all over for the Death Egg! But it doesn't look like I'm going to be around to celebrate, cause it's a LONG WAY DOWN! "

Emperor Metallix, a giant red menacing looking Metal Sonic with amazing shading

Sonic and Knuckles deep down inside the Lava Reef Zone, the Death Egg looming from atop, sitting on the crater's opening.
Sonic: "....Closer than you think!"
Knux: "I don't believe it! Robotnik has the Death Egg sitting right on top of the volcano!"

Sonic arriving at Never Lake. Behind the lake there's a mountain with Robotnik's face carved in, connected to a gianormous chain tethering it to a small planet above with an entirely metallic surface and huge flame pits spewing out giant flames.
Sonic: "What the...? That's the Miracle Planet! What on Mobius is happening here?"
