Speed Racer

In the late 1970s, Brazilian publisher Editora Abril brought the high-octane world of Speed Racer to local newsstands with this 18-issue series. Adapting the beloved anime into comic form, the title captured the thrill of the Mach 5's adventures for a new generation of readers. While the creative team behind this specific run is not widely documented, the series remains a notable piece of Brazilian pop culture history, introducing the iconic racer to audiences beyond television. Its 1977–1979 run stands as a key example of the era's international licensing boom in South American comics.
