Sonic the Hedgehog[]
No Escape is a 2-part Sonic story set on Shanazar. Written by Nigel Kitching, drawn by Richard Elson and lettered by Ellie de Ville, the action followed Sonic after his escape from Grimer's clutches. Not fazed, Doctor Robotnik hires Death-Trap - a group of mercenaries - to track the hedgehog down.
Features[]
The theme of this week's Graphic Zone, as well as the issue, is "Six of the Best", celebrating the comic's 6th anniversary. Owners of published pictures received a Sonic the Hedgehog watch. The Photo Zone also thanks Boomers who have stuck around since 1993 (and those who joined along the way), with photos of fans. Since a lot of the merchandise in the pictures are old (Mega Drive games and early issues of STC), these photographs may be old ones. These entries received an Enamel Badge.
