Sonic the Comic was a UK children's comic published by Fleetway Editions between 1993 and 2002. It was the UK's official SEGA comic and was released every fortnight at 95 pence, later rising to £1.25 before the final issue.
The comic featured the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and his motley crew of freedom fighters as they struggled to liberate the planet Mobius from the control of the evil dictator, Doctor Ivo Robotnik.
The comic is a departure from the SatAM series, having a few characters that were different or altered. For example, SWATBots were replaced by Troopers, which had a renegade general called Brutus, who fought against Robotnik and Sonic at the same time.
Sonic the Comic had a few other original characters like Johnny Lightfoot, Tekno the Canary and Porker Lewis. Snively was replaced by Grimer, a old green scientist that also hated Robotnik by the last issue.
The Chaotix appear in StC. Nack the Weasel was once a member of the group, but he betrayed them at one point. In StC, Vector the Crocodile, Charmy Bee, Espio the Chameleon, and Mighty the Armadillo are the Chaotix members.
Seemingly, StC did do better game adaptations than Archie, mainly because Fleetway had much more in common with SEGA than Archie ever did, despite the fact that the archie comic has numerous characters. Covering the Knuckles' Chaotix with the Metalla Series was really StC's peak of writing. After that point, Fleetway went into decline. It couldn't keep up with Archie, or SEGA with the Sonic Adventure adaptation, and it failed to portray or adultize with SEGA. StC went into reprint, which ended by 2002.
Other stories featured were based on various other SEGA video game titles, which included:
The face of the comic was Megadroid, a cartoon robot build out of Sega Mega Drive parts. He answered reader letters and acted as a liaison between the readers and the 'humes who think they're in charge'.
