However, a few have been collected and their value is on the up, with a notable increase in interest in 2011 to coincide with the 20th Anniversary of the game.
🔵 Sonic The Hedgehog Newsprint PromoIn addition to the glossy cover version of the promo there also seems to be a comic-sized newsprint variant which has the word "ADVERTISEMENT" along the top edge. This is also dated 1991 but has no mention of Fall/Autumn or a definitive date inside and it has no price.
🔵 Sonic The Hedgehog Mean Machines Magazine PromoThis comic was included as a free gift in the popular gaming magazine Mean Machines in issue #16, dated January 1992. This version measures almost 11.5 inches by 8 inches (whilst the original glossy promo is smaller than a standard comic book this one is much larger!). This variant also has no advertising inside (the story starts on the inside of the front cover and ends on the back cover.
