About the series
Lamar Waldron, Diane M. Piron, and Len Strazewski drove the script for this 38-issue run from Now Comics, which brought the high-octane world of Speed Racer to the comics page from 1987 to 1990. With art by Norm Dwyer, Joe Phillips, and Jill Thompson, the series faithfully translated the anime's iconic characters—Speed, Racer X, and Pops Racer—into a fast-paced, family-friendly adventure that captured the spirit of the classic Mach 5 racing saga. It remains a fondly remembered adaptation for its energetic visuals and consistent, engaging storytelling.
