Sonic The Comic Online FAQ
Q) What is Sonic The Comic Online?
A) Sonic The Comic Online is just what you read, and online continuation of the Egmont STC comic that ran from 1993 – 2002.
Q) Is Sonic The Comic Online (STCO) made by the same people who did the original comic?
A) No, STCO was launched by Ed, Mike and Tom in 2003, this was the culmination of over three years’ work by many people. It carries on from where STC ended with the Chaos saga in issue #184.
Q) Is STCO released every fortnight like the original comic?
A) No, STCO is released every 2-3 months, due to it being a part time project of the Humes real lives. (It isn’t always out on time though, Megadroid is getting lazy nowadays.)
Q) When did STC start reprinting old issues?
A) Sonic The Comic had all original stories in the first 132 issues. From 133-154 they only had three new stories. Issues 155 & 156 had 2 new stories, and from 157-184 there was just one new story. From 185-223 there were all reprinted stories. The comic stopped being published after issue #223.
Q) Do the writers and artists of STC know about this comic?
A) Bob Corona, Nigel Dobbyn, Richard Elson, and Nigel Kitching have all shown their interest, and support of this comic. They’re fans of it.
Q) I stopped reading after a certain issue, is there some place I can read the old comics and online comics?
A) There is. To read the old comics, you should check out the STCA (Sonic The Comic Archive) run by JC and Ezekiel, though the site is currently down.
To read back issues of the online comic, go to the latest issue, and in the Control Zone part of it, on the top right of your screen you should see a link saying ‘Back Issues’, click this and enjoy back issues from #224 onwards, not to mention some poster mags.

A) STCO is comprised of artists, script writers, and editors. The current staff list consists of:
ARTISTS:
Adamis
Matthew Allan Smith (TeamSmithy)
Bakasam
Calisto
Amy Clarke

Q) Can I become an artist/scriptwriter for STCO? If so how?
A) You can apply to become an artist for the comic, just send an example of your artwork to Stiv, a comic book page would be a good example, or if you have a website which shows a lot of your artwork, then that can be viewed and you may be considered to become an artist.
Currently, there are no script writer positions available for writing Sonic stories, however, if anyone feels they have talent to write a Sega related non-Sonic story then they should also pm Stiv.
Q) Is there a place where I can discuss the latest comic?
A) Yes, the messageboard. In the Sonic The Comic part, you should see a topic entitled ‘Sonic The Comic Online(issue number) Discussion Thread’.
Many thanks to: Arch, Ray, Retro, Ed and anyone else I annoyed asking for help with the questions. Appreciate it.
