Hey, Boomers!

Surprise! How do you like my scary new Hallowe'en costume? Don't worry, I'll be back to my usual handsome self next issue! Luckily, you too can join the fun and scare your friends with your free Evil Megadroid mask! Just print it out on card or thick paper, cut around the dotted lines and attach some string.

Before you go off to scare your mates, there's more great news for long-time readers. Long-time STC artist Nigel Dobbyn has launched his website! Of particular interest is his dark and thrilling new comic strip "Magpie", created with STC scribe Nigel Kitching. But be warned - some of the content is not for younger Boomers or the faint of heart!

Let's talk about new stories. This time there are two terrifying tales for you. In R.B.R., Sonic runs into a ghost town that's still under Robotnik's rule. Meanwhile in the conclusion to Impressions, Amy is on the run from her old pal Johnny Lightfoot - who's dead!

And don't expect the action to let up next issue either, as STC celebrates Christmas in style with two all-new stories - and the long-awaited return of Knuckles and Robotnik! See you then!
