On May 3rd, the annual Free Comic Book Day returns to participating comic book shops, a day when free comic books are given out to anyone who stops by. This year’s Free Comic Book Day will feature a reprint of the very first issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie comic book series, Sonic the Hedgehog #1. Though the comic will be the same as it was originally printed, it will feature a re-imagined cover with a modern “spin” done by well known Sonic cover artist Spaz. Below is a preview from the FCBD website with the cover artwork for the issue being handed out.
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #1—FCBD 2008 EDITION
by Mike Gallagher & Dave Manak
Sonic the Hedgehog has been speeding his way through video games, TV, and comic books since 1992! He is undoubtedly one of the biggest cultural icons throughout the world. Now, Archie Comics is paying homage to the blue blur by taking us back to where it all began. With the overwhelming success and popularity of the Sonic Archives reprint series, we are proud to bring you a reprint of the first-ever Sonic comic from the ongoing series: Sonic The Hedgehog #1! In honor of this year’s Free Comic Book Day, Archie is re-releasing the classic stories from this prized issue, but with a special bonus: the cover will be completely re-imagined with a modern “spin” by current Sonic artist, SPAZ!
