Sonic the Hedgehog Collection

Just found these...

 

Well after years of being out of the collectors scene and selling all of my stuff, I only held one regret; selling my Sonic comic collection.

I left it in an auction without a reserve and forgot the end time, it went for pennies.

Anyway I've struck gold recently and with a few good purchases I now have a nearly mint collection. It cost me £70+ to bag and board them all due to their non standard size:



I'm only missing a few poster specials and an Eternal Champions special for the set to be complete but I think it'll take many years to find those remaining copies.

The only thing I still own out of my old collection is the TecToy badge, couldn't bring myself to let it go as it has sentimental value.

 

Funny to see the 'It's the new look' issue. It's one of the few issues I have. I bought it when I visited the UK in '95

 

I have a rare Sonic Comic that was given away with a magazine called 'Mean Machines' back in the early 90's about the time of the original Sonic game. It's got some backstory to how Sonic went from being a normal brown Hedgehog to the Blue colour etc and how Dr. Robotnik turned bad etc.....

This one: http://www.recalledcomics.com/SonicTheHedgehog1Promo.php

It's mint and i'm in the UK, give me a PM if you feel like you need it in your collection, for the right price of course....

EDIT: Looks like you already have the US version, mine is the UK edition....

 

Well done!

 

I used to own both of them, now I don't have either (the US one shown in the pics went the journey with my old collection).

PM'd

 

are these comics even any good? I've been squeemish about getting into them.

 

and here I was thinking I was a Sonic fan...

 

IMO way better than the US versions. Quite strict to the game story lines without too much deviation into all of the weird politics and bizarre character names and factions found in the US comic.

I'd argue that the artwork is better too but I guess it comes down to taste.

There's a good set of scans here: http://en.sonicscanf.org/comics/sonic-the-comic/

 

This arrived today. Unfortunately the dog got to it before I did and took a chunk out of it (which is a shame as it wasn't in the best shape anyway). Still super pleased as it's taken me ages to find this. Only four more issues to go.

 

i sold 1-100 at a car boot sale years ago for like a tenner - had all the free gifts too

oh if I could talk to my younger self!!!

 

Someone got lucky!

I have all of the free gifts in a shoe box. All of the sweets that we're given away...their wrappers are still taped to the comics

 

More stuff. Some of it I've had for a while but just got round to uploading pictures:

Box of free gifts which came from the comics (some are still attached to the comics):



Topps Sonic trading cards from 1993, some of which contain Beta images of both Sonic 1 and 2 (nothing the community hasn't seen before unfortunately):



Various graphic novels/books:

 

This arrived today. It's basically the Where's Wally (Waldo) equivalent for Sonic. I believe this is the second book. I had the first when I was a kid:

 

This little guy arrived today. I don't think it's official but I couldn't resist as it looks pretty cool:

 

Two things to add today. Firstly a comic I've been after a long long time, courtesy of Urbangangsta101:

(I really want to get it graded but CGC are being unhelpful about it and my local authorised dealers almost seem like they're trying to talk me out of it)



And then this little guy. £15 on amazon which is a steal as for some reason on eBay they're going for silly money:

 

Awesome! Glad the comic arrived undamaged bud!

 

Turned up perfectly feedback left. Thanks, it's now the centre piece of my collection

 

Added this to the collection today:

 

How much did that US copy set you back?
