Baltimore, but some of the exhibits are not what they seem. Mysterious

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG #1--FCBD 2008 EDITION

cultural icons throughout the world. Now, Archie Comics is paying
homage to the blue blur by taking us back to where it all began. With
the overwhelming success and popularity of the Sonic Archives reprint
series, we are proud to bring you a reprint of the first-ever Sonic
comic from the ongoing series: Sonic The Hedgehog #1! In honor of this
year's Free Comic Book Day, Archie is re-releasing the classic stories
from this prized issue, but with a special bonus: the cover will be
completely re-imagined with a modern "spin" by current Sonic artist,
SPAZ!
