Background Information:
48-page specials gave readers a different view of the Sonic
world or added to the existing Sonic story line. At first these
specials were primarily game adaptations, so each issue had the number
one attached to it. After the "Battle Royal" issue was printed,
issues were identified as being a "Sonic Super Special" comic. After
issue #6 (Sonic 50 Director's Cut), each comic was only known as "Sonic Super
Special" and had no real title. (Note: The titles seen after
issue #6 are from the order forms for the comics.) Issues were typically
printed on a quarterly basis, and since they had 48-pages they cost more
than a regular comic. Eventually the cost in producing the comics
became too great and Archie Comics stopped printing the specials.
