Ever since his debut in the early 90s, Sonic the Hedgehog has been one of the most iconic video game characters of all time. Like all gaming greats, he's received a number of offshoots, including figurines, merchandise, (controversial) movies and even numerous comic book spinoffs – many of which don't get the recognition they deserve.

With such an iconic character design, Sonic makes the perfect comic book protagonist, so naturally, he's featured in some truly brilliant and bizarre cover art over the years. From moody Metal Sonic art to intricate anniversary illustrations, fans have been reminiscing on the best Sonic comic book covers, and quite honestly, it's hard to pick a favourite.
