Presenting: "Sonic the Comic: Volume 1", a one-off, fan-made graphic novel that I designed and printed, collecting stories from the first issues of the 1990s publication "Sonic the Comic".

"Samantha Slade: Robo Hunter" A reboot of Robo Hunter, the funniest comic I've ever read. This was never going to reach the heights of the original, but it did a good job considering. Always enjoy seeing Ian Gibson's colour art.

"A.H.A.B" The Sonic The Comic dream team of Nigel Kitching and Richard Elson reunite for an (incredibly violent!) sci-fi adaptation of Moby Dick. It's a shame this was their last collaboration.

"Judge Anderson: The PSI Files Volume 5" The final Judge Anderson volume sees the main artist change from Arthur Ranson to Boo Cook, whose work I usually really like, but I found the stories in this one so uninteresting I skimmed past it all to get to the end. Such a waste.

Just asked the woman in Waterstones if Prince Harry’s book is available to download. She said ‘do you want the PDF file?’ I said no, that’s his uncle.

"Sonic the Comic: Volume 1" It shouldn't be a surprise I read this cover to cover the day it arrived. Reading STC in this format, one thing that jumps out is how quickly it gets good: From issue 7 until the end, it never lets up. There's a reason these comics are so loved.

I would *love* for everyone to have a copy of this, but the only way we can legally make that happen is to keep on sharing and showing our love for STC, and hope that the actual owners realise what they're sitting on, and make this book officially :)

Thanks everyone for the great response to this! I want to clarify something though: No, I am not mass producing or selling these. The only copies other than mine were sent as gifts to some of the original STC staff.

Here's the original thread where I've posted some of the upscaled pages that led to this project: twitter.com/DanTwoHundred/ The "Volume 1" is to show that this is first part in an imaginary series. There's potential for a 10-15 books here if you wanted to collect everything :)

Been doing some experiments using AI upscaling and automated OCR technology to digitally remaster (what else) Sonic the Comic. The results are looking promising to say the least:

I made this book for no reason other than I wanted to have it, and the rights-holders of Sonic the Comic have yet to publish anything official since 2001. If you *are* one of those rights-holders and you're reading this, please get in touch with me! I'd love to talk :)

Many of the pages have been newly-scanned from my copies of the original issues, and all have been painstaking restored to print-quality 300dpi.

The book is 264 pages long, and collects all the Sonic stories from the first 31 issues of Sonic the Comic (along with the first 5 issues of Sonic the Poster Mag).

So, some of you may have noticed me posting high-dpi pages of remastered artwork from Sonic the Comic recently. Well, I can finally reveal what these were for:

"Brink: Book 4" I'm starting to wonder if this series is going anywhere. Each book only moves the plot a little bit, and with Abnett writing at least 4 other series now, it's hard to imagine it reaching a conclusion soon.

"Judge Dredd: The Small House" This was also great. And with this, I'm finally caught up on all the major Judge Dredd storylines from 1977 up to the present day. Phew.

"Judge Dredd: Titan" This was great: A prison rebellion story that morphs into a supernatural horror with huge implications for the Dreddverse. Rob Williams has fun bringing back a lot of formerly imprisoned characters, and Henry Flint's art has never looked better.

"Garth Marenghi's Terror Tome" A compendium of new stories by the infamous author, visionary, dreamweaver (plus actor) Garth Marenghi. I really loved this. Recommend to anybody who enjoyed the Darkplace TV show.

2022 was the year I got really into reading again. Here's a complete list of all the books, comics and graphic novels I've read and re-read this year:

Some more recent pages. I love when STC goes cartoony.

Also featuring in this book, full-frontal male nudity by Sonic the Comic's Richard Elson, which is not a sentence I thought I'd ever say:

"Judge Dredd: The Cape and Cowl Crimes" A fun book of all the silly superhero parodies Judge Dredd has featured over the years. The comedy side of Dredd is so often overlooked in collections, so this was a nice change.

"Judge Dredd: Trifecta" An interesting idea: three stories by different authors start off separate, then merge together into one. Unfortunately the stories are so tonaly different, and the central plot so complex and political, that I barely knew what was going on for most of it.

This, but now I'm the cat.

"Brink" (Books 2 and 3) The central mystery from Book 1 ramps up, if a bit predictably. Hoping that book 4 throws a spanner in the works a bit. Glad I read this all at once: it would have been a bit too slow to read week-to-week.

(This is not a joke tweet. "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" is a fantastic show)

"Judge Dredd: Origins" Re-reading this as I've reached this point in the timeline again, and I didn't know enough to understand it the first time. Still not sure if Dredd needed to be connected to the real world, but these oversized essential editions are so lovely to read.

Therefore: I predict AIs in the CEO positions of major corporations within the decade.
