My mum just got me the special preview issue of Sonic the Comic and I had to write straight away to say that this is the very things that's been missing from my empty little life!<br \/>The best part about it is the price. This means I can buy STC every fortnight and still manage to trough my way through 48 packets of Wotsits. Great!<br \/>I am quite good at drawing at school and was wondering if I send in some pictures, would you print them? It would be good if you had a readers' drawing page.<br \/>I can't wait for the first issue.<\/p>\n<p>STEVEN CURLEY, MANCHESTER<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>So, what do you think of it, Steven? Pretty Segasational, huh? As for readers' drawings, well check out this page. The more the merrier, that's what I say. As for your drawings, well, I hope they're good.

Tails said he would<br \/>CHAPTER TWO<br \/>Sonic opened the door to his house. \"Let's look around first and then we'll sit down and you can tell me all about yourself,\" he said to Tails.<br \/>Sonic was telling Tails about an evil man when Tails looked out the door and saw Dr Robotnik. Dr Robotnik grabbed Tails and Sonic went running after them and got Tails back.<br \/>When they got back to the house Sonic untied Tails and they both lived happily ever after.<\/p>\n<p>LOUISE ROBSON (age 6)<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Many thanks, Louise.
