Production background

Ian Flynn had planned to produce a definitive Sonic the Hedgehog encyclopedia for Archie for several years in various forms. In 2010, the book was announced for pre-order as The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia, along with a mock cover and a blurb announcing that it would touch on almost everything in the Sonic series, and would include "an extensive world map of Mobius and a timeline that sheds new light on past events."^[1]

The name was subsequently changed to Sonic the Hedgehog Who's Who, and was intended to be released in multiple volumes. The cover was updated to reflect the new title, but the cover's design was largely unchanged (see left). In October 2011, Archie editor Paul Kaminski said that Who's Who (then due to be released in 2012) would include complete character histories, brand new art, and never-before-revealed secrets.^[2]

In June 2012, the book's final title (reverted to The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia), cover, contributors and release date were announced in Archie's solicitations for September 2012.^[3]
