Sonic the Hedgehog

[loboagain]

Any reason why Sonic issues 70-80s are in the $25-35 range? Also, any information on the title would be appreciated. Thanks.

rare underordered book in the 1990`s. While everyone was hoarding,bagging and boarding Image, kids actually read this book and it has grown into a cult hit.

I was just thinking about this the other day.

 

At our store, Sonic is clearly the most popular book among kids (and also a handful of young adults). It got me thinking, is #1 going to be a highly desired book in 10 years or so when these kids grow up?

 

I think it might...

75-120 sell well for me in high grade between $8-15. I have seen them sell for as high as $25, but I think that is a little high myself. High grade is tough find because kids arent nice to Sonic when they read them.

Yep. More interest at shows than you would expect.

so what is considered the first Sonic appearance in comics?

Sonic the Hedgehog 0. Scans later.

Actually it was a free comic included with a UK video game magazine called Mean Machines in 1991.

Does anyone want any of my high grade copies between 75-120? I think I have 11 of them, they are (off the top of my head) the $30-35 issues in Wizard. Not expecting that at all, but if some of you are collecting the run PM me...

Good afternoon everyone,

 

Not sure what I've got here, so I'd appreciate any help. Reminds me a lot of the Atari Force comics that were given away with Atari games in the early 80s (this measures much less than a standard comic). Did Sega do something similar? Don't think it's listed in Overstret.

 

 

Cover date is Fall, 1991, which predates Sonic #0 (Feb., '93) and puts it closer to the UK gaming magazine mentioned a few posts ago.

 

The cover price is throwing me as a game giveaway wouldn't have a price, would it?

[Ad Astra Collectibles]

Wow, I wonder... if You find out how much it cost, and if willing to sell it, give me a heads up first, I'd totally take it off of Your hands.

[Ultra Ambient]

Well it has the same cover art as the UK giveaway. I'd have to see an inside page to see if it's the same comic.

Well, here's a copy of the first page. That blue bubble-looking background is part of the comic.

 

 

I also see that Mile High is selling it as an ashcan.

 

Now, I realize that it's Mile High we're talking about here, but it's got me tempted to throw it on the 'bay and see what kind of interest is out there (couldn't find one the last time I looked).

If the price is $300 then the real price they sell it for is usually 20-35% of that. So they would probably sell it for $60-$105 and then another 20% off or whatever with the codeword of the week. That could be market or who knows, but I guess it is a good starting point.

[Ultra Ambient]

It looks like the same comic. However I think the background is different in my copy.
