Sonic - "The Haunted Zone"

• Script: Nigel Kitching
• Art: Richard Elson
• Letters: Ellie de'Ville

Synopsis

Sonic and Tails have come to the Haunted Zone to experience a night at Halloween. Tails tells a story of how the Zone became haunted, but as night falls, Sonic loses control of his senses and surrenders to evil and a group of monsters. Before midnight is over, Tails manages to steal the Charm of Despair from Sonic's neck, stopping him from being dragged into the Underworld.

Appearances

Characters:

• Miles "Tails" Prower

Trivia

• An editorial footnote in the story explained that an amulet is something that is worn to keep away evil, the opposite of the Charm of Despair's purpose in the story.
• Sonic's eyes briefly turn green while he is wearing the Charm of Despair. They will turn green permanently in Sonic the Comic #175, "The Coming of Chaos!".
