About the series
From 1991, Vortex Comics released the single-issue Daytona Special No. 1: The Daytona 500 Story, a standalone comic that blends the thrill of stock car racing with the comic book medium. Written by J. J. Gertler and Nat Gertler, and illustrated by legendary Marvel artist Herb Trimpe, this one-shot offers a dramatized look at the history and drama of the iconic Daytona 500. It stands as a unique, race-focused artifact from an era when comics occasionally tackled niche sports subjects with big-name talent.
