Mad Cave Studios let us know that a brand-new Speed Racer series is coming our way, and it is an anthology!
Speed Racer: Tales from the Road is an all-new quarterly release featuring one-shot stories that expand the universe of Speed Racer! Two destinies. One road. Only one can walk away. When Interpol sends Racer X on a mission to take down a brutal warlord known only as the Viking, a deadly chase ignites across a shadowy European city. Packed with brutal hand-to-hand combat, turbocharged vehicular mayhem, and a haunting look at the choices that forge a man, this oversized one-shot dives deep into the past of the masked driver you think you know. Also featuring a Spritle and Chim-Chim backup story where they borrow the Mach 5 for the joyride of a lifetime!
Racer X will be featured in the first issue, which is written by Mark London with art by Sebastian Piriz.
In a press release from Mad Cave Studios, Mark London said, “I’ve been obsessed with Racer X since I was a kid—he was always the mysterious, badass enigma I wanted to know more about. So getting to write a full story that dives deep into his world? Total dream come true. Tales from the Road lets us explore corners of the Speed Racer universe that the main series doesn’t usually touch, and I think fans—old and new—are going to love what we’re doing. It’s going to be explosive in every way.”
Speed Racer: Tales from the Road #1 arrives on October 22, 2025.
