Sonic the Hedgehog #18

Something old, something blue, something at full speed — the cover of Sonic the Hedgehog #18 throws a wedding into wonderful chaos, with Sonic in a bow tie and Sally in a flower-crown veil clearly having their big day crashed by a fuming Dr. Robotnik, while Tails gets tangled up in the action nearby. Cover pencils by Dave Manak and inks by Jon D'Agostino give the scene a lively, cartoonish energy perfectly suited to the tagline teasing "Wedding Bell Blues." With writer Mike Kanterovich and Ken Penders on the story and a cover price of just $1.50, this 1995 Archie Adventure Series entry is a charming snapshot of the book's playful humor at its best.
