Sonic the Hedgehog 1 is the first issue of the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series. It was released in July 1993 and follows the SatAM story (freeing Mobius from Dr. Robotnik's control), but had a less serious style like that from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. The art in this issue is based off of early concepts for SatAM, including the use of pink Sally Acorn, which remained until issue 16.
This comic features five stories: Meet Me at the Corner of Hedgehog & Vine, You Bet my Life!, I'd Like to Thank..., Keep Looking Up!, and Fast Food.

Meet Me at the Corner of Hedgehog & Vine
Dr. Robotnik, while destroying a pinata shaped like Sonic the Hedgehog, is approached by one of his Swatbots who has developed a mechanical pitcher plant it calls Krudzu. Meanwhile, in Knothole Village, Antoine D'Coolette leaves the village to pick flowers for Sally Acorn to impress her, only to be caught by the Krudzu that a burrobot set up in the forest. Sally and Sonic run to the surface to see Antoine tied up by the plant. Sonic grabs him, while still tied up by the plant and returns him to Knothole as Krudzu continues to grow in the forest.
Sonic and Sally send Antoine to Boomer[sic] to help release him from the Krudzu. Boomer brings out a chainsaw, which causes Antoine to faint, but Boomer only brought it out to trim the table that Antoine is on. With him unconscious, Boomer starts ripping the plant off Antoine and throws it in a bucket. Tails, who is walking by, notices the bucket full of Krudzu and waters it, freaking out the others.
Back in Robotropolis, Robotnik watches as the Krudzu take over the Great Forest, ordering his buzzbombers to head for it for when the Freedom Fighters leave their secret base. In Knothole, the Freedom Fighters watch as the watered Krudzu suddenly short-circuits. This gives Sonic an idea to water the forest, but his plan is stopped by Sally and Tails as they tell him that a storm is on the way.
Just as expected, a storm rolls over the forest, pouring rain and short-circuiting all the Krudzu. Robotnik, in his anger, throws the burrobot from earlier into his robot disposal.
