Visual Connection: Sonic Comic Covers

May 12th, 2010

I currently have an article in the pipeline regarding trans-media franchising and video games in which I reference my experience with the Sonic the Hedgehog comics in the mid-nineties. You can read more about the long-running series here, here and here. I have quite an affection for these comics as they were really good. I mean, the series has been running for 17 years now, of course it must be good! To preemptively add to my future trans-media games coverage I figured that I’d scan some of my favourite covers and share them with you. The cover art is simply phenomenal, really detailed but not in an off-putting or grotesque manner. Please enjoy the art for the meantime.
