Sonic the Comic #131

Original stories

1. Sonic · Shady Characters, Part 1 #

   When the Freedom Fighters prepare to reclaim abandoned Flickies' Island, Johnny Lightfoot stays behind—then secretly joins the assault. A huge Badnik ambush traps the team, and the apparent ally reveals himself as Agent X.

   Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Richard Elson · Letters: Tom Frame

2. Tails · Making the News #

   Smallzone reporter Clark Bent yearns for a story bigger than local tedium and finally gets one: a supposed dinosaur attack. Tails sees through the spectacle, exposing the 'monster' as Bent's toy display and ending the broadcast in an arrest.

   Script: Lew Stringer · Art: Mick McMahon · Letters: Gordon Robson

3. Double Sonic · Game On! #

   Sonic seems to be locked in an endless battle with a Badnik, repeatedly falling only to return to the fight. The loop is a computer game played by two children; when a real Badnik interrupts their walk, their football proves surprisingly effective, while Sonic reveals he has been testing Tekno's creation.

   Script: Lew Stringer · B&W art: Roberto Corona · Colour: John M. Burns · Letters: Elitta Fell

4. Decap Attack · Decap-Man, Part 1 #

   Professor Frank N. Stein's attempt to perfect Chuck with a jury-rigged transformation machine goes explosively wrong. The newly powerful Chuck and Head leave the castle to fight crime, and a celebrated masked hero soon appears in the newspapers.

   Script: Nigel Kitching · Art: Nigel Kitching · Letters: Ellie de Ville
