Sonic Spezial

From 1994, Bastei Verlag launched Sonic Spezial, a single-issue German comic that offered a focused, standalone adventure for the blue hedgehog. While the series itself was brief, it stands as a unique artifact of Sonic's international publishing reach, distinct from the longer-running monthly titles. The issue represents a specific moment in the character's 1990s European popularity, serving as a compact entry point for German-speaking fans.
