Archie Comics' Sonic author and artist, Ken Penders, is once more offering a small selection of original works on eBay. These two items in particular could be of huge interest to American Sonic fans though, as they mark two landmark moments in the comic book's history. The first cover is the original version of Sonic #47, which features Sonic dramatically trying to save Sally as she falls off Robotropolis tower at the start of the iconic Endgame story arc. This was drawn by Spaz and Harvo, and is also autographed by Spaz. You can see the cover for this above (although you'll be bidding on the original work, so will look slightly different to this). Bidding ends on June 15th at 3:09pm Eastern Time, the link to the auction is here. The second auction is for Sonic #101, and features art by Spaz and Ribeiro. This is a striking piece as it centres on the infamous 'Green Knuckles'. Bidding for this one ends on June 15th as well, at 3:21pm Eastern Time. Get to the auction page right here. More details can be found at Ken Penders' very own website. View full story

Archie writer and artist Ken Penders has announced that he is auctioning off some rare comic collectibles on eBay, including the complete (and intact) five-page story 'Beat The Clock' and some Sega Data pages from past issues. Speaking of the 'Beat The Clock' collection, Penders said, in a recent chat on his website, "This is probably one of the rarest Sonic collectibles - it was published in the first Sonic issue I ever wrote for, in fact - and was actually the second story Mike (Kanterovich, co-writer) and I wrote when we began submitting stories to Archie. "Another reason for its rarity is that there are only a handful of stories from the entire run of the series that are completely intact, due to the nature of how art is returned to the artists with both the penciller and inker each receiving a share of the pages," Penders added. "Of all the people who ever worked on the book, only Mike and I were ever able to obtain any of the early stories in their complete form. Everything else has been broken up." The five-story package will include an extra page (the original first page, with credits intact) and will be auctioned with a starting price of $1000. Penders also revealed that the Sega Data pages will open at $150 per page and feature Julie-Su, Princess Sally, the Floating Island and Knothole Village. View full story
