Speed Racer, Chronicles of the Racer

I wrote a SPEED RACER miniseries for IDW Publishing called SPEED RACER: CHRONICLES OF THE RACER. It was illustrated by the incredible Robby Musso, of TRANSFORMERS comics fame, and German Torres.

In SPEED RACER: CHRONICLES OF THE RACER, Speed finds himself pursued by a mysterious stranger…and the stranger seems to know more about Speed’s family history than he does. Soon, Speed discovers that he’s the last in a long line of “Racers,” champions who were chosen by fate to out-race the evils of this world. The story alternates between the present-day adventures of Speed chasing after his cryptic foe, and the past Racers battling an eerily similar villain. Specifically, we see the Racers of Ancient Rome, Medieval England, the Golden Age of Piracy, and the Old West. Like TIME BANDITS or STAR WARS, SPEED RACER: CHRONICLES OF THE RACER is the ultimate children’s adventure story, chock full of chariot races, knights in shining armor, princesses, dragons, pirates, monsters, giant robots, and cowboys. And lots and lots of racing. Also, while it’s largely a children’s comic, there are also plenty of Easter Eggs for older, long-time SPEED RACER fans to enjoy.

The collected TPB of this mini is out now.
