"sonic the hedgehog set to become the biggest comic star of the 90s" Discuss. Well, there was a period in the 90s when STC was the biggest selling comic in the UK. So, in that sense, yeah? Maybe? And I'm reminded of the 90s flashback episode of The Simpsons, in which the only 90s fictional characters that they reference are the crew from Seinfeld and Sonic the Hedgehog. |

I read it ages ago on Wikipedia, that most accurate source of all internet trivia. Going back to check it now, it says only that it was "one of Fleetway's biggest selling comics in 1998", and this is followed by [citation needed]. So maybe I was just wrong. |

I can't imagine it ever selling more than, say, the Dandy or the Beano.

The launch issues will have sold very well, but I doubt it ever outsold those mainstays. Expect it was Egmont's biggest selling comic for a while. In fact by the end it was Egmont's ONLY comic.
