Sonic the Hedgehog
Splitzoid is a complete story by Lew Stringer, Richard Elson and Ellie de Ville. In one of the New Zones, Doctor Robotnik and Grimer have created Splitzoid, a robot that duplicates itself when hit. The robot invades the Emerald Hill Zone through the Ring of Eternity and Sonic, Amy Rose and Tekno the Canary are all having trouble defeating it. Sonic lures the original and its copies to the Ice Cap Zone, where not even an avalanche can stop them. Eventually, Sonic tricks the original into flying through an Ice Jet, destroying every robot.
Features
The theme of this issue's Graphic Zone is "At the Movies". Sonic dresses up as several movie heroes (Tarzan, James Bond, Aladdin, etc) and wins the artists a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
