"Sonic the Comic", a British comic published by Fleetway Publications, ran for 223 issues from 1993 to 2002; contributors included Richard Elson, Nigel Kitching, Andy Diggle, and Nigel Dobbyn. It featured stories aimed at children, in addition to news and review sections. Although it adapted the stories of the games, the writers established their own lore. The final story arc was a loose adaptation of "Sonic Adventure" in 2000, followed by 39 issues reprinting old stories. Following the series' cancellation, fans started "Sonic the Comic Online", an unofficial webcomic that continues the stories.
