After the visit with the Freedom Fighters, Knuckles and Julie-Su return to the Floating Island. Where Julie-Su opens up for the first time and confides in Knuckles about her life.

For the first time Julie-Su does not snap at Knuckles when he offers her help.

After this Julie-Su finds herself back at the Dark Legion's campsite. I guess Enerjak teleported her there off panel.

Here she exaggerates how her encounter with Knuckles went. We also see how her life must have been before she met and befriended him.

In issue 9 she is still with the Legion and Enerjak appears speaking as if he has truly done away with Knuckles after their battle.

Although she took part in subduing the Chaotix she (not so conspicuously) leaves behind supplies to aid them. I guess no other legionnaire thought to double check on the Chaotix before departing.

Just including this scene that I've always liked.

The Dark Legion make a attempt to take over Echidnapolis which doesn't end well for them.

She quickly gets caught off panel and the issue ends with her heading to jail.

I finished two evil twins (seems like twins can only be of the same sex, I think there is another meaning of this word) - meet Lien-Da and Kragok. I love their designs and how they match the background atmosphere. It seems to me that my design does not fit Kragok very well, i was just trying to make him look very similar to Lien-Da. 

Because Fleetway’s Cyborg Dr.Zachary in issue 97 of Sonic the comic-

-looks JUST a bit similar to Kragok in Knuckles the Echidna 1-

-BOTH COMIC BOOKS-came out in the exact same month AND year. Both are   cyborg Echidna, both have robot arms, both have a secret connection to the Guardian of Angel Island. 

You could spend HOURS going through the release dates of the Fleetway and Archie comics, figuring out who ripped off who, but from what I can tell it seems like it was just a case of two writers coming up with similar ideas at the same time.

NOW-does that mean that Ken was in the right for making a character that is CLEARLY based on Doctor Zachary without crediting Fleetway? Of course not, my point is that I understand WHY Ken felt the need to shamelessly rip off the character, as he felt that he shouldn’t bother crediting someone, whom in his egotistical mind ripped him off.
