Sonic the Hedgehog[]
Knightmares is a complete story by Lew Stringer, Richard Elson and Elitta Fell. Whilst exploring Shanazar, Sonic is attacked by horses riding on the back of lizards and is captured as 'sport'. He's suddenly joined by Amy Rose (with help from Tekno the Canary) and the two are enlisted to help The Knight's Baron rid the land from the Black Knight. After a fight, they learn that the Knight is really just a suit of armour to hide the peaceful Kritturs, so the hedgehogs trick the horses into keeping away from the Kritturs forever.
Features[]
The theme of this issue's Graphic Zone is "Something For Summer" with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Charmy Bee enjoying the hot weather. Successful entries won Boomers a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
The Next Issue artwork is taken from the cover for Issue 26. The poster is also an old piece of art.
