Sonic the Hedgehog

Before Sonic had his own solo title, Archie Comics tested the waters with this 1992 one-shot, written by Michael Gallagher and drawn by Scott Shaw. It's a standalone comic book adaptation that captures the early, cheeky energy of Sega's mascot, pitting Sonic and his friends against Dr. Eggman's schemes. While brief, this issue is the crucial starting point for what would become one of the longest-running video game comic series of all time.
