Sonic the Hedgehog #64

Issue #64 of Archie's long-running series brings the ominous cover tagline "At Last… It Is Naugus!" to life, with Sonic looking wide-eyed and alarmed as the white-maned, horned sorcerer Naugus looms menacingly alongside a swirling green spectral figure — while Tails hovers anxiously in the background. Pat Spaziante's cover pencils pack the scene with kinetic energy, swirling chaos and a real sense that Sonic may be in over his head this time. With Karl Bollers writing, Steven Butler on art, and Pam Eklund inking, "In Search Of…" looks to be a genuinely compelling chapter in the Freedom Fighters' ongoing adventures.
