Sonic the Hedgehog #46

This May 1997 Archie Adventure Series issue puts Sonic face-to-face with a fierce white-and-black wolf character in a tense close-up confrontation, the pair filling the frame with unmistakable intensity — it's a striking composition from cover penciler Patrick Spaziante and inker Harvey Mercadoocasio. Inside, the ominously titled "Countdown to Armageddon" promises high stakes, brought to life by writers Kent Taylor and Ken Penders with interior art by Manny Galan. A solid pick for fans of the Archie Sonic run at its most dramatic.
