I'd be very interested in seeing this comic! Unfortunately I was never on Flipnote Hatena, but hopefully you can find someone else who's seen this before. Any media that can't be found online anymore, no matter how niche, is inherently cool in my opinion.

I may be in possession of lost media.

It’s not one of the cool ones, unfortunately. Basically for the past few years, I’ve been searching information regarding a Sonic.EXE fancomic that was hosted on the DSi Flipnote Hatena of all things. However, I have never found any information regarding it. Can’t even find anything on the Flipnote archive. Now it likely isn’t “lost media,” as it’s unlikely that I’m the only one to have saved them, but it’s cool to think of it that way. Like a li’l conspiracy.

(Animated trailer made to promote the comic)

The comic was made by a user named “Lightning™” and stars his self-insert OC. The comic follows the events of the original Sonic.EXE story and game, but from the perspective of a modern Sonic canon. Sonic has gone missing, and Lightning has teamed up with Shadow to try and find him. Amy and Silver are also there. The tone was a disjointed mismash of actually taking a Sonic.EXE plot seriously and what can only be described as early 2010s DeviantArt humour. This comic fucking captivated me as a tween due to me being in both a Sonic phase and a creepypasta phase, but yeah. I’m in possession of the trailer that Lightning™ posted to promote the comic, along with parts 1-5. I’ve been obsessed with this because I have no idea if the series went beyond Part 5.

If anyone’s interested, I might post the comic on here since there’s no archives of it anywhere else. Was also planning on dubbing the thing for a video I’m making on the topic, discussing the events of the comic, why it captivated me, and speculating about what the plot would have been like past Part 5.

Let me know if anybody else remembers this, I can’t be the only person.

The Curious Case of the Look-In magazine Shaphne Comics

These comics are so interesting, published in a British magazine from 1990-1994, a little bit less than half a decade since the Shaggy, Daphne, Scooby, Scrappy era. These are the only two comics I have been able to find, one notable for seemingly not featuring Scrappy (?). If anyone has access to these magazines, or scans of them, from the 90s, I'd love to see them, cuz honestly it feels like a lot of them might just be lost to the sands of time.

Hi guys~ I try to find and preserve lost comics. Obviously it's not cheap but I accept any support 💙 I bought it physically, scanned it and edited it a bit to improve the quality. My printer with scanner is very old so there may be small color differences or some dirt.

Chilling Investigations #1, Part 1: Bloodchilde #0

Bloodchilde is a rather obscure title from now-defunct Millennium Publications written by Faye Perozich, known for her adaptations of Anne Rice novels, that published four issues between 1994 and 1995. They are frequently sold secondhand, either individually or together, and I have not found any scans of individual pages, and based on what I have seen, buying them is the only method of reading available.

The comic revolves around the titular character and vampire, Childe, as well as Agent Turner of the FBI who is hunting for him, Nico, his mysterious vampiric companion and potential enemy, Camus, his father-figure and the one who turned him, Kami, the embodiment of death itself, and an unknown character who is never officially named but is built up to be an antagonist to Childe. I will summarize the story of each individual issue in a separate post as this one is not about the story it tells, but rather, about the comics themselves. Bloodchilde is peculiar in the fact that it ends very suddenly in the middle of the climax. The tension builds throughout all four issues, but then, when Childe is finally cornered, it simply ends with no resolution. One of the author's notes indicates that the series was meant to be much longer, however no other issues are ever mentioned online.

The easiest explanation is that it was cancelled before it could be completed. This is the most probable and seems like a clean-cut end to Bloodchilde. However, there is one more intriguing element of this series. In the third issue, a special issue, issue 0, is mentioned.

This could easily be brushed off as having been cancelled, along with the twenty other issues supposedly meant to be produced. However, within the final issue, #4 Sweat & Tears, there is an advertisement for Bloodchilde #0 that shows a cover and date for release.

Bloodchilde #0: The origin, supposedly coming out in October of presumably the same year (1995). It having an advertisement and cover art is not solid proof of its existence, though. But it seems likely that production of the comic at least started at some point, even if it was never released to the public. However, one crucial piece of information made me think it may have been.

This is the only mention of Bloodchilde Issue 0 I have ever managed to find on the internet and the only indication at all that it was actually sold. The date of the estimated sales lines up with the supposed release date of Issue 0, October 1995. None of the other issues were released in October aside from the first, with Issue 1 in October of 1994, Issue 2 February of 1995, Issue 3 May of 1995, and Issue 4 in July of 1995. It is possible that, because of the fact these were pre-orders, the comics were never received, however there is no way to know for certain one way or the other just from this source. However, this source does provide reason to suspect that Issue 0 could be out there somewhere, whether distributed or not. Diamond Comic Distributors would likely have records on whether or not it was actually sold, however getting into contact with them could prove difficult. First, I am looking for other routes. More research online provided no other mentions of Issue 0, however, I did find another source for Bloodchilde related media.

Within this database, the four issues of Bloodchilde are named. However, Bloodchilde and its characters are mentioned within three other pieces of work. "After Dark" the anthology #1, "The Collector's Dracula" #2, and "Tiger Woman" #1. All of these works predate the supposed release of Issue #0 of Bloodchilde, however they could provide more information on the franchise as a whole. I will be attempting to collect them as soon as I can.

Which leaves another dead end. The only option left to find the truth on Issue #0, with sources readily available online not leading to any solid conclusions, is likely contacting those involved with the production of Bloodchilde. Many different people worked on this comic through it's inception and run, which leaves many options, but the most obvious is the writer, Faye Perozich. I will be attempting to find a way to contact her to see if I can find the answers I'm seeking, but in case I get no reply or she does not want to or can't comment, there's many other avenues available. This concludes Part 1 of this investigation, hopefully there will be new developments soon, but until then, this is it for Bloodchilde.
