Earth Spirits is a complete story written by Lew Stringer, drawn by Mick McMahon and lettered by Elitta Fell. 1860's America sees native tribes fighting off the advances of U.S. soldiers. Chief Thundercloud is angry at the Shaman's insistence that the "spirits" exist, but is wrong-footed when Sonic and Amy Rose appear from nowhere to save them. When ousted as "intruders", the pair are locked away but something else seems to come to the Indians' rescue the next day...
Features[]
This week's Graphic Zone, in keeping with the main story of the issue, has the theme of the Wild West. Sonic, Knuckles the Echidna and Amy are seen in several cowboy-related pictures, with the artists winning a Sonic the Hedgehog watch each.
