A triple whammy of oldschool talent in this update! ------------------------------------------- Art by Carl FlintStc alumni Carl Flint worked for most of Sonic the Comic's print run, first as a cover artist before moving on to several Tails stories and a few Amy Rose ones as well. Here we've asked him to highlight some of STC's rouges gallery and Robotnik's redesign which first appeared in issue #22. The doc's chums include Grimer, who made his debut in issue #21, Metallix (STC's name for Metal Sonic!) who first appeared at the end of issue #22's "Girl Trouble" and Metamorphia, who we saw for the first time in her self titled story in issue #30! Also featured is Nutzan Bolt who fought Tails on a couple of occasions starting in issue #35's "Zoneruner & The Flock" and Grouchio Marxio, of the Marxio Brothers, who turned up for the first time in issue #18's story "Casino Night" - quite the evil group shot! Art by Dave WindettThis panel features art by Dave Windett who has very kindly returned to draw the characters he drew for the first Nameless Zone stories starting way back in issue #16! Tails is wearing his enchanted armour to fight Trogg by the dimension bridge to The Land Beyond and is being egged on by Errol Blackthorn who assisted Tails from issue #18 and his sister Morain, who arrived on the scene much later in issue #59's "The Revenge of Trogg" Art by Ferran RodriguezEarly STC artist Ferran Rodriguez contributed this panel of Knuckles The Echidna bowling Sonic and Tails over in their first meeting in issue #33 - in the background you can see the floating island which actually made its debut (along with knuckles) in a prologue story printed in Sonic the Summer Special called "Guardian of the Chaos Emeralds" where Robotnik first meets knuckles and warns him of the "evil" sonic the hedgehog...

And Rodriguez never drew Knuckles, Windett never drew Morain, and Flint never drew Metallix, Nutzan, or Grouchio - and they've nailed them!

Are you quite certain Flint never draw any cover with a Metallix on it?

I find myself really liking Carl Flint's one. I can see the appeal in the squidgy style there.

Love the Nameless Zone one, it's great that Windett's art has evolved and yet is still recognisably his own. Very suited to drawing Tails.

Metallix looks like he has a goofy grin which I am unable to UNSEE! hehe But holy craaaaaaaaaaa...bmeat! Three works from the STC alumni! Awesome stuff, guys. I particularly love the Tails one. I really liked the way Windett drew Tails and the other foxes in the original strips. It's nice to see his take on Morain as well. Funny snarky comment on her part, too!

Brings back fond memories these ones, particularly Dave Windett's. His Tails drawings are still adorable after all this time!

Ferran Rodriguez did draw a Knuckles pin-up that was used twice.

Oh yes I think I know the one you mean - he's in the jungle isn't he? At least we can agree Windett never drew Morain... until now that is! And yes, I saw the goofy face too but I decided to keep it to myself - who's to say Metallix didn't have somthing worth smiling about at that point?

What is with Nutzan's pose? He's supposed to be a murderous psychopath but that pose just makes him look childish, like he's ready to jump out at someone and go "BOOGA-BOOGA-BOOGA"!

I wouldn't classify Nutzan Bolt as more dangerous than a wooden kart, really.

Not at all - as has been demonstrated by Charles, I think these are just as ripe for butchery as anything else we put out!

That would explain why Metamorphia's all like "Hel-loooooo!"

Update time again - Almost a Knuckles trifecta, if you count the Emperor Metallix's flimsy connection! ------------------------------------- Art by Pete MurphyHere is a retelling of issue #49's " Countdown to Disaster" with Sonic and Knuckles putting aside their differences (just!) to combine against the bigger threat, namely Robotnik's newly rebuilt Death Egg II! This two parter, combined with the follow up 3 part " Disaster" form a loose adaptation of the closing events in the videogame Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles. Art by Marcus StockleyThis is Knuckles guarding over the Emerald Hill folk who evacuated to the Mushroom Hill Zone on the floating Island. First mentioned in issue #55, the destruction of the Death Egg II in issue #53 resulted in Robotnik being in an even more vindictive mood than usual! Sonic's Deal with Knuckles was meant to protect the inhabitants of his hometown, as Robotnik wouldn't know where they were hiding - In actual fact the Emerald Hill folk remained here until issue #104 when they returned to their original village. (but we'll probably get to that later!) Art by Seumidh "Shay" MacDonaldHere we have a couple of the bigger suporting villains in STC's rogues gallery. Commander Brutus made his first appearance in issue #66's "Project Brutus" and was an upgraded Special Badnik Service trooper model, created as a deputy for Robotnik, but with ambitions of his own. The Metalix Army is better known as The Brotherhood of Metallix, first mentioned in passing in "Countdown to Disaster." The brotherhood's actual first appearance, along with their leader the Emperor Metallix, is in issue #55's Knuckles story " Total Chaotix," where their base in Robotnik's old special Zone fortress are uncovered.

Great batch, it's a nice complement to the previous selection being all STC alumni that these three are drawn by current STCO regulars.
I love Shay's Brutus and Pete's looks superb, the background on Marcus' is lovely too.
Good work, guys, can't wait to see the next lot!

Somehow I just know that I'm going to see Shay's big-mouthed, chinless Robotnik in my nightmares.
