For many years, aA [[comic strip]] loosely based upon ''Decap Attack'' appeared in the [[United Kingdom|U.K.]]'s ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'', written and drawn by [[Nigel Kitching]],<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=http://info.sonicretro.org/Nigel_Kitching_interview_by_Sonic_HQ_(July_22,_1999)|title = Nigel Kitching interview by Sonic HQ (July 22, 1999) - Sonic Retro}}</ref> (with some episodes co-written by [[Richard Piers Rayner]] co-writingand somedrawn episodes, andby [[Mike McMahon (comics)|Mike McMahon]] drawing a few of those).<ref name="auto"/> and a firm fan favourite. The strip contained a very absurdist and manic sense of humour, dealingmaking withfrequent allusions to popular culture, and followed the daily life of Chuck, D. Head (and the talkingother skullinhabitants whoof Castle Frank N. Stein. Aside from Chuck, toother regular characters included Head'sannoyancethe talking skull, getswho would frequently get thrown at enemies), much to his annoyance; the evil-minded Igor, (who iswas constantly trying to kill Chuck); and the stereotypical mad scientist Professor Frank N. Stein, who iswas actually faking his German accent and iswas really a former choirboy from [[Cardiff]]. Max D. Cap only appeared twice in the strip: in "Starring Chuck D. Head!", the premiere storyline that roughly adapts the game's events; and in "Dead!", in which the characters are taken to [[Hell]]. In both appearances, he was partnered with his accountant, who constantly encouraged Max to be more stereotypically evil in his mannerisms. Max was described by the Professor as being one of the evilest beings alive, as he borrowed the Professor's lawnmower and never returned it.
The strip first appeared in Issue #10 of ''Sonic the Comic'' (October 1993), and became a firm favourite of both fans and Kitching. The strip would continue to appear in the comic on a semi-regular basis until Issue #132 (June 1998), nearly seven years after the game's release. The strip was subsequently phased out in Issue #133 to make room for reprinted ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' strips as part of [[Fleetway Editions]]' five-year reader cycle policy.
Max D. Cap only appeared twice in the strip, in the first story and one where the characters went to [[Hell]], and was partnered both times with his accountant, who is constantly encouraging Max to be more stereotypically evil in his mannerisms.
