It's now 15 years to the day when STC #1 came out.

So if you remember that issue, YOU BE OLD.

OBJECTION!!

I didn't start collecting until maybe mid 50's or so, whenever the Death Egg saga was kicking off and Super Sonic ripped the Super Metallix a new one, although my collection seems to remain from the early 90's with the awful Marvel superheroes parodies in the special zone. I have no idea where my earlier issues are. o.o

I can still remember reading my very first issue off a friend of mine:- the issue where Robotnik has been captured and Knuckles frees him, leading to a climatic battle against Sonic. It was just so... awesome.

Happy 15 years! Here's to wishing that the mag was still carrying on but bah humbug with reprints and all that jazz.

If I was in World War 2,
They'd call me Spitfire.

I didn't start collecting till issue 24 or 27. It was the Mystic Cave story where Sonic gets hit by a Flasher and meets Captain Plunder.

I bought it the very week of it's release. I still remember the store I used to go every fortnight to get it...

Damn I'm old.

Lord Hotboxers
Fluffing Toby's Space

o.o I think my first one was Girl Trouble... but then I only had it sporadically at that point, and didn't get it all the time untill much further into it.

Also, man that was a long time ago.

Who?

I coincidentally started collecting at issue #100. I remember going to the same shop every fortnight to pick up a copy.

Good times indeed.

Voice of Sanity

I'm another person who started with issue one.

And I know I'm old. I'm just trying to be apathetic about the fact at the moment.

The MoFo's rules are this way, and they're still mandatory reading before posting...

I wish i'd held onto the old comics that a freind lent me before i started to collect them myself. there was always this excitement that i felt before reading each issue. ^^;

I had the preview comic that came with a Stingray magazine, it was the only reason I got the magazine...

I think I missed issue 1 though, I started with issue 2, the first story featuring Tails trapped in a metal suit that Robotnik made.

I miss those days.
