Speed Racer (2nd Series)

    (WildStorm, 1999)
™ and © Speed Racer Enterprises, Inc.

Speed and Trixie, Sparky, Pops Racer, Racer X, even Chim Chim and Spritle. All the stars of the classic television cartoon come alive in this new comic series, which reveals the previously untold origin of Speed Racer. Watch as Speed’s amazing racecar, the Mach 5, goes from drawing board to body shop. Witness the tragic events that almost kept the car from being built, and nearly destroyed the Racer family business in the process. Ponder the identity of the mysterious masked driver known only as Racer X. Listen as your imagination makes the written dialogue seem like it’s being spoken just a little too fast.

Writer/artist Tommy Yune manages to capture all the magic and wonder of Tatsuo Yoshida’s popular characters. But the comic goes beyond the cartoon’s campy humor, creating an original story that is complex and intensely exciting.
