I got into the sonic the hedgehog comics around 45-120. I enjoyed it, but eventually lost track (I also lost any monetary means to renew a subscription, but that's a different story 
).
Anyway, in the comic covers and on certain pages, I always saw this character, and I was never able to figure out who it was. You can find glimpses of him on the bottom right corners of the following covers:
I always assumed this was a character from the comic before I read, but never got an explanation. He shows up in some of the material in the comic as well, although I can't provide any examples.
Anyway, if you could help me solve this old mystery I would appreciate it greatly.
Hmm. Links don't work.
Oh, that's Astal from the Saturn game of the same name. Apparently, Spaz was a big fan of his and the game and so decided to put him in several cameos inside and outside of the book.
No problem and yeah, Ristar was in several comics and so were Bean and Bark before Ian decided to bring them in for real.
Heh, I always wondered who that little guy was too. I just thought it was spaz's little signature character.
