Here is Mega Zone Magazine from Australia. It's a multi-system coverage bi-monthly (see systems at the top there) On their 24th issue, done in October of 1992, the cover featured Sonic 2 under the headline "The greatest video game ever returns!"
It uses that creepy-ish 'Egg-botnik' 4 fingered version of him grabbing the "2" in the background.
