Flash the flags and start your engines! One of the most recognizable racing icons in pop culture history is back in one definitive collectable volume!

Mad Cave Studios and Tatsunoko Production bring fans Speed Racer Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition, a new hardcover collection that brings Tatsuo Yoshida’s legendary MachGoGoGo to a brand new generation.

Written by the award-winning David Pepose, illustrated by Davide Tinto, colored by Rex Lokus, and lettered by Buddy Beaudoin, this 152-page deluxe hardcover collects the explosive first arc with a bold reimagining.

Speed Racer lives for the thrill of the race, but on the underground circuit, the rules are anything goes. Dodging bullets, explosions, and dirty tricks, he’s got one goal: to prove he’s the best. But when a dangerous syndicate targets his family, Speed’s greatest challenge won’t be on the track—it’ll be on the streets. With the police closing in and a masked racer lurking in the shadows, Speed is about to learn that some races can’t be won with horsepower alone.

A collectible edition for longtime fans and readers discovering the franchise for the first time, Speed Racer Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition channels the spirit of the original while shifting into something grittier, faster, and wholly built for today’s comics audience. This expanded edition also includes a full cover gallery and behind-the-scenes material.

Built for maximum velocity, the Speed Racer Vol. 1 Deluxe Edition hardcover goes on sale August 11, 2026 (ISBN: 9781545830703 | $29.99). Available wherever books and comics are sold, as well as from the Mad Cave website.
