List of Sonic the Hedgehog printed media

Sonic the Hedgehog has been the subject of many spin offs in printed media.

Comic books

Several comic books have been released, each establishing a different storyline about Sonic.

In the UK there was also a short-lived Sunday comic strip and a series of Christmas annuals. Whilst there were some slight connections (both projects occasionally featured the work of regular Sonic the Comic artist Richard Elson), the projects were largely separate from one another, with the Sunday comic and annuals preferring self-contained gag strips over Sonic the Comic's continuing plot lines and maturer stance.

Gamebooks

A series of six Sonic Adventures gamebooks were published in the UK between 1993 and 1996 by Puffin under the Fantail label.

Manga

Several Sonic the Hedgehog manga series have been published in Japan. In addition, Sonic fan-made dōjinshi made by a variety of artists (including Rikdo Koshi) have also been released.

In 1992, Shogakukan's Shogaku Yonensei published the eponymous Sonic the Hedgehog manga. The manga was written by Kenji Terada and it was illustrated by Sango Morimoto (森本サンゴ Morimoto Sango). The manga, details the story of a hedgehog boy named Nikki Parlouzer who can turn into Sonic the Hedgehog. It also featured, Miles "Tails" Prower and Dr. Eggman.[1]

Dash & Spin: Super Fast Sonic (ダッシュ&スピン 超速ソニック Dasshu ando Supin: Chōsoku Sonikku) is a 2-part published manga illustrated by Santa Harukaze (春風邪 三太 Harukaze Santa). It was printed via the Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro Comic, who is famous for publishing many manga adaptations of video games (including adaptations of Super Mario Bros. and Rockman.EXE (MegaMan NT Warrior).

Dash & Spin was never published outside of Japan, nor in any language other than Japanese.

Dash & Spin's volumes contain several short stories, including omake (extra) koma stories, published as an anthology. The stories are often very slapstick. Dash & Spin includes many Sonic the Hedgehog characters, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Miles "Tails" Prower, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Dr. Eggman.

Dash & Spin finished publishing Volume 2 in February 2005.
