When I was 18, I sent some fan art to the official Sonic the Hedgehog comic series, published by Archie Comics at the time. I discovered a passion for making comics that's shaped my personal and professional life ever since.
I found a thriving community of other fan artists making Sonic comics online, which inspired me to start my own.
The games themselves were good but what really got me hooked was when I started doodling the characters in my sketchbook the pure joy of teaching myself cartooning via Sonic set my brain on fire and catapulted me headfirst into learning everything I could about the Sonic series. Sonic The Hedgehog #1 Fifth Anniversary Edition will be available with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, each one illustrated by a different artist instrumental in making IDW’s Sonic kickoff from five years ago an unequivocal success! These variants include a special foldout Cover A by Tyson Hesse (featuring the connecting covers from issues #1-4), Cover B by interior artist Tracy Yardley, Cover C by Matt Herms, Cover D by Jennifer Hernandez, and three Retailer Incentive covers from Adam Bryce Thomas, Evan Stanley, and Jon Gray respectively.Evan Stanley: I started playing Sonic games around 2005 when my big brother brought home an old Sega Genesis along with Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
