Sonic the Comic #130 is the one-hundred and thirtieth issue of the Sonic the Comic series by Egmont Fleetway.

This issue marked the comic's fifth birthday. This milestone was celebrated with a single Sonic story across seventeen pages, "Showdown", which concluded a plotline that had been set in motion as far back as issue #104, as well as a birthday special Decap Attack story.

Other features

  • Control Zone
  • Pin-Up: Sonic's Buddies and Baddies, Part 1: Buddies. Art by Carl Flint.

One reader sends in a poem, Megadroid reveals that his creator is Richard Burton, another reader asks if Robotnik has any friends and there's a request for a Baddies poster (which will handily be given out next issue). Owners of the printed letters each won an enamel badge.
  • Graphic Zone: Fan art submitted by readers. The theme for this issue's Graphic Zone is "Party Dudes", featuring pictures celebrating the comic's fifth birthday. Owners of the printed art each won a Sonic the Hedgehog watch.
