Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 6 was the sixth issue of the main Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and the first game adaptation.

Story One

 * "The Spin Doctor" - Part One

Sonic the Hedgehog and the Knothole Freedom Fighters charge after Dr. Robotnik's lab, to try and eleminate him, but they notice a sign on his door, saying that he has left. The lab is now nothing but an abandoned area, but Sonic runs off to find Robotnik, anyway. Before leaving, he notices a note that tells him where Robotnik is located: a huge volcano, known as the Veg-O-Fortress, surrounded by pinball rails.

Sonic plays along and acts as a pinball, going into the volcano. He is ambushed by two monsterous robots named Rexxon and Scorpius. Sonic quickly destorys them, and moves on to the second zone.

The second zone appears to be a huge lava room, where Sonic meets Hip and Hop. They are two kangaroos who inform Sonic of the dangerous Ferrons up ahead. The Ferrons are quickly beaten by Sonic, but he is catapulted into the third level, where he is surrounded by venemous plants and captured animals. Sonic avoids them, but walks into one of Robotnik's traps on accident. Sonic spots Robotnik on a screen, but he is soon tossed out of the Veg-O-Fortress.

Fortunatly, Sonic is rescued by Tails, who was on sky patrol, in case trouble should arise. They leave the volcano, but Sonic thinks he will return there, someday.
