Sonic the Hedgehog #16

A menacing Dr. Robotnik looms large over the cover of this 1994 Archie issue, gleefully declaring he wants "hedgehog under glass" as Sonic, Sally Acorn, and a third friend find themselves trapped beneath a glass dome. Dave Manak and Jon D'Agostino's cover art captures the playful tension perfectly — Sonic looks ready to fight back even in a tight spot, while Sally reacts with wide-eyed alarm. With the story "Sonic Under Glass!" promised inside, this is a fun snapshot of the Freedom Fighters facing one of Robotnik's characteristically theatrical schemes.
