Mad Cave Studios, an independent comic book publisher, is set to release a new Speed Racer comic book during Free Comic Book Day on May 3, 2025. This new comic will be part of their collaboration with Tatsunoko Production, the studio behind the original Speed Racer anime.
Free Comic Book Day is an annual event where fans can get free comic books at participating comic book shops around the world. In addition to the Speed Racer comic, other Japanese media-related titles will also be featured at the event, including Power Rangers and Boruto.
Mad Cave Studios previously worked with Tatsunoko Production on a series of Gatchaman comics, and they are now expanding their partnership to include new stories and modern adaptations of the Speed Racer franchise. This announcement comes after the success of their previous collaborations and the positive reception of their work.
The Speed Racer anime, originally known as Mach Go Go Go, was first released in the United States in 1967 and has since become a beloved classic. Tatsunoko Production regained the worldwide rights to the property in 2011, leading to new opportunities for collaborations and adaptations.
Fans of Speed Racer and comic book enthusiasts alike can look forward to the release of the new Speed Racer comic during Free Comic Book Day next year. This exciting collaboration between Mad Cave Studios and Tatsunoko Production promises to bring fresh and engaging stories to the iconic franchise, delighting both new and longtime fans.
