STC Historians and Archivists have been working on a definitive history of the man from the Kitch Haus who brought us such classic characters as Captain Plunder, The Marxio Bros, Emperor Ko-Dorr and Madge \x26amp; Arthur. We\x26rsquo;re proud to share their findings today:\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eBorn in the before time (before Sonic The Comic, that is, we didn\x26rsquo;t bother paying attention to anything preceding that), Nigel \x26ldquo;King\x26rdquo; Kitching was an unassuming child from the Land of Eng. One day, he was faced with a vision: a vision of a talking, blue hedgehog. And, thus, from that day forward, Young Nigel decided he would go about becoming the ultimate Sonic scribe.\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eOf course, he hit a snag immediately as Sonic hadn\x26rsquo;t been invented yet, so he had to wait for that. When the day finally arrived, however, Nigel wrought drama and tension upon STC\x26rsquo;s pages like never before, with his debut story featuring Robotnik as some sort of Mecha Paul Daniels. Nigel would go on to create many famous STC stories including Sonic the Terminator, Death Eggtimer Countdown and The One Where Johnny Lightfoot Got Blatted By Chaos. Good stuff.\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eNigel also won a place in our hearts for writing a Sega Superstars story with a certain set of characters who weren\x26rsquo;t quite as well known or beloved as Sonic, but who remained near and dear to many a Boomer\x26rsquo;s heart, thanks to his work. Yes, that\x26rsquo;s right: Streets of Rage!\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eAnd, so, on this glorious day, we salute you, Nigel Kitching (prop. Nigel\x26rsquo;s Kitchens) for your many and various contributions to comics. Without you (and Lew, if you\x26rsquo;re reading!), the STC-O team would have never been inspired to take up the mantle of hedgehog related storytelling. Happy birthday and\x26mdash;OI, GERROFF! I\x26mdash;hey, noooooo\x26mdash;dsfSWAGKAGAGkewglknweFK,kllllllllllllll\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3e*Sorry about that, Boomers, just had to pry the new boy off the Official STC-O Social Media Keyboard. Hm. I could read or delete what he wrote but that would just waste valuable seconds better spent looking at cat pictures on the internet. Happy birthday, Nigel Kitching! From all of us at STC Towers, have a most amazing day!\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3e\x26ndash;Megadroid\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                \x3c/div\x3e\x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://40.media.tumblr.com/4f8c9fb91e5f7a2437a3e9ab3416404c/tumblr_nkt2ktgVbT1rjp7jso1_400.jpg\x22 alt=\x22Super Sonic has been unleashed!!!Go check out issue #266 now, boomers, before ol\x26amp;rsquo; Supes blows it up!Thanks to Michael Corker, Charles Ellis, Chris Gould, Stephen \x26amp;lsquo;Spydaman\x26amp;rsquo; Davis, Thalia Evans, Jean-Fran\x26ccedil;ois \x26#039;Adamis\x26amp;rsquo; Th\x26eacute;b\x26eacute;, James \x26#039;DarkNoise\x26amp;rsquo; Kennedy, Pete Murphy, India Swift, Matt Dittmer, Claire \x26#039;MamboCat\x26amp;rsquo; Ryan, Shaz, LT Fletcher, Zak Simmonds-Hurn, Keiran Holmes (Our STCC competition winner!), and Tom Campbell for putting this issue together!\x22 class=\x22tumblr_photo\x22/\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a                        \x3cp\x3e\x3cb\x3eSuper Sonic has been unleashed!!!\x3c/b\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eGo check out \x3ca href=\x22http://www.stconline.co.uk/266/controlzone.html\x22\x3eissue #266\x3c/a\x3e now, boomers, before ol\x26rsquo; Supes blows it up!\x3c/p\x3e\x3cp\x3eThanks to Michael Corker, Charles Ellis, Chris Gould, Stephen \x26lsquo;Spydaman\x26rsquo; Davis, Thalia Evans, Jean-Fran\x26ccedil;ois \'Adamis\x26rsquo; Th\x26eacute;b\x26eacute;, James \'DarkNoise\x26rsquo; Kennedy, Pete Murphy, India Swift, Matt Dittmer, Claire \'MamboCat\x26rsquo; Ryan, Shaz, LT Fletcher, Zak Simmonds-Hurn, Keiran Holmes (Our STCC competition winner!), and Tom Campbell for putting this issue together!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_photo_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x3cimg src=\x22http://36.media.tumblr.com/c453f28a93f61e2dfa5c10fcc645eb09/tumblr_nir2aaF59v1rjp7jso1_400.jpg\x22 alt=\x22So, by now you should all have read STC #265 (and if you haven\x26amp;rsquo;t, stop whatever you\x26amp;rsquo;re doing and go read it!)Which was your favourite story and why?\x22 class=\x22tumblr_photo\x22/\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a                        \x3cp\x3eSo, by now you should all have read STC #265 (and if you haven\x26rsquo;t, stop whatever you\x26rsquo;re doing and \x3ca href=\x22http://www.stconline.co.uk/265/controlzone.html\x22 title=\x22go read it\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3ego read it\x3c/a\x3e!)\x3cbr\x3e\x3cbr\x3eWhich was your favourite story and why?\x3c/p\x3e\x0a                    \x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a            \x3c/li\x3e\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a\x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a        \x0a\x0a                        \x0a    \x0a        \x0a            \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_text_post\x22\x3e\x0a                \x0a                    \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_title\x22\x3eA Christmas Gift!\x3c/div\x3e\x0a                \x0a                \x0a                \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_body\x22\x3e\x0a                    \x3cp\x3e\x3cstrong\x3eIt\x26rsquo;s Chriiiistmas!\x3c/strong\x3e And so we\x26rsquo;ve decided to give you all a very special present: A brand new issue!\x3cbr\x3e\x3cbr\x3eSo deck those halls, trim those trees, and get reading \x3ca href=\x22http://www.stconline.co.uk/265/controlzone.html\x22 title=\x22issue #265 of Sonic the Comic!\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3eissue #265 of Sonic the Comic\x3c/a\x3e!
