Sonic the Hedgehog #5

Sonic blazes across the cover of this December 1993 Archie Adventure Series issue, trailing a streak of vivid flames as a walrus villain and Tails scramble in his wake — with the cheeky cover copy boasting it's both "the hottest title on the shelf" and "going fast!!" Dave Manak's cover art captures the blue hedgehog's signature speed with real energy and charm. Inside, the story banner promises "Olympic Trial and Error," hinting at competitive chaos ahead for Sonic and his friends.
