THE SPECTRE AND THE KINGDOM

Featured in the 2002 "Kingdom Hearts Official Game Magazine", this was a comic originally released in Italy. It was distributed during the first game's release. It was translated into Spanish, and then eventually into English (only in Australia).

Some interesting things to note about this comic:

• Sora and Riku are working together instead of Riku being the villain.
• This is actually the first appearance of La Cité des Cloches, way before its official appearance in Dream Drop Distance.
• This is also the only time a world for "The Sword in the Stone" has ever appeared in the series.
• The Heartless featured, as well as the Fairy Sceptre, have never appeared anywhere outside this comic.
