We’ve already covered the lengthy game history of Sonic The Hedgehog, but he’s also had a noteworthy career in comic books and cartoons as well. Over the span of his fifteen year career, the famous mammal has appeared in several animated series and a flurry of comic books, including the long-running Archie Comics series (currently at almost 170 issues and counting).

I guess the fame was too much for him. Read all about in the newest installment of our Missing Mascots series!
