December 1994
"Gorilla Warfare/The Apes Of Wrath" starts things off. Robotnik discovers his first major creation, King Gong (a giant apebot), on Skoal Island, and sends him after Sonic and crew. If the name didn't rip things off enough, the ape falls in love with Sally, kidnaps her, and climbs on top of a building. It's officially revealed by Sally that she and Sonic are a couple here. Tails flies in to save Sally while Sonic blasts the bot with some kind of goop, causing it to fall off the building, boom destroyed, that's all folks. Half of this story was a background on how Robotnik made King Gong, but it doesn't matter a whole lot since the bot only lasts one issue (or it should anyway).
"Princess Sally's Crusade (Pt. 1): First Star I See Tonight" is next. It's short, basically recapping how Sally's father was captured by Robotnik when he took over. A meteor falls to the ground, where the gang finds a crystal ball. Sally seems to have an idea on what it is, but we won't know until next issue.
That's it. Just seemed like filler to get to #18 as well as the first special (both of which will continue the Sally story).
