Tails (miniseries)

Tails, also called Sonic the Hedgehog's Buddy: Tails, was a three-issue mini-series spin-off of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series published by Archie Comics. It featured an early solo adventure of Miles "Tails" Prower, as well as the first appearances of Crocbot, the Forty Fathom Freedom Fighters, the Downunda Freedom Fighters, and Athair (Knuckles' great grandfather).

Each issue began with a single-page comic (written and drawn in-universe by Tails himself) called Tails to Astonish, which was a parody of mainstream superhero comics and featured Tails as a superhero called Captain Super Fox-Man the Mutant Cyborg Clone.
