Towards the end of 2005, we identified a small market niche for an old Sonic The Hedgehog comic that ran between 1993 and 2002. 'Sonic The Comic' is a much sought-after but hard-to-find legacy of Sega's heyday of the 1990s when Sonic was at his most popular.
With the revival and continued interest in Sonic brand on new video game platforms, this old UK comic remains much-loved, and Comical Games has sought to become the definitive place on the internet to buy out-of-print back-issues. Currently fans are reduced to searching eBay where the comics are found very rarely, and often sell for disproportionately high prices or without a good indication of their condition.
This unit seeks to create consistency in this small market by having a fixed-price per comic depending on its condition with efforts to keep price-inflation down to a minimum. The site is an extensive e-commerce effort integrated seemlessly with Paypal and has performed well since its launch in early 2006. |
