- Nigel Dobbyn is an artist who worked for Sonic the Comic. Rising to prominence by drawing nearly every Knuckles the Echidna strip, Dobbyn is one of the most popular members of staff, often mentioned alongside Richard Elson as a favoured artist. Much of his work away from Knuckles is colouring other people's strips, particularly Roberto Corona, although he has also drawn solo Tails and Amy Rose adventures. He also has strong links with Sonic the Comic Online, meeting with STC-O Humes and Boomers for the Hume Quest meet, as well as sitting with staff members at Summer of Sonic 2011. Dobbyn has even drawn the cover for Issue 254 (coloured by Pete Murphy) and coloured one of the panels in Issue 257's Decap Attack strip.
- Nigel Dobbyn had previously worked with editor Richard Burton on 2000AD, but Burton had concerns over whether Dobbyn could fit in with STC's style. Dobbyn and Nigel Kitching developed the Sparkster strip with the intention that Dobbyn would draw it, although it ended up being drawn by Keith Page. Despite this, Kitching continued to request that Dobbyn be given stories in STC, and eventually this paid off. His first work on the series was for the spin-off Sonic the Poster Mag, in Sonic the Poster Mag #9, in which he illustrated "Trapped in the Vortex!"

Aside from the above contributions, Dobbyn made his full debut in STC-O with his work on "In Memory. Working with Nigel Kitching in the comic for the first time since the print run, Dobbyn produced the inks, colours and lettering for the Sonic the Hedgehog adventure. Aside from Sonic the Comic, Dobbyn has been involved with a large number of licensed comics, from Power Rangers to Transformers, 2000AD and Digimon, among others.

- Nigel Dobbyn had previously worked with editor Richard Burton on 2000AD, but Burton had concerns over whether Dobbyn could fit in with STC's style. Dobbyn and Nigel Kitching developed the Sparkster strip with the intention that Dobbyn would draw it, although it ended up being drawn by Keith Page. Despite this, Kitching continued to request that Dobbyn be given stories in STC, and eventually this paid off. His first work on the series was for the spin-off Sonic the Poster Mag, in Sonic the Poster Mag #9, in which he illustrated "Trapped in the Vortex!" Nigel Dobbyn became a permanent member of staff beginning in Sonic the Comic #65, collaborating with writer Nigel Kitching on the Knuckles series of strips. Kitching, a close friend of Dobbyn and an artist himself, was so keen to work with Dobbyn that he volunteered to give up paid artist work on the Knuckles strip in favour of Dobbyn. Dobbyn and Kitching's Knuckles stories continued until Sonic the Comic #101, "Loose Ends", uninterrupted except for a three-issue stretch from Sonic the Comic #91 to #93, in which the Knuckles stories were temporarily replaced by a three-part Captain Plunder story called "Shanghaied", illustrated by Richard Elson. Dobbyn has claimed that his favourite work on the series was in colouring the lineart of Roberto Corona. Nigel Dobbyn attended Summer of Sonic 2009, having also provided original prints to be displayed at the 2008 convention.
