The Sonic the Comic Mailing List is an electronic mailing list for discussion of Sonic the Comic.
History
The list's original owner was Dave Bulmer.[1][2] Other list administrators/moderators were Ed Reynolds and Tom Huxley ("Doctor Zachary"), who ran the fansite STC: STEM (Sonic the Electronic Magazine) and who subsequently founded the Sonic the Comic Online fan-continuation webcomic.
Sonic the Comic creators Nigel Kitching, Mark Eyles and Roberto Corona[3] participated in the group.
The list was hosted by OneList[1] and by eGroups, prior to transferring to Yahoo Groups.
