Speed Racer (originally known as Mach GoGoGo in Japan), was created by Tatsunoko Production in 1967.

Mad Cave Studios is excited to offer long-time fans and new readers alike the opportunity to experience Speed Racer in a bold new way while maintaining the high standard of storytelling and artwork that both Mad Cave and Tatsunoko Production are known for.
“Speed Racer is one of Tatsunoko’s most beloved properties and we’re excited to partner with Mad Cave Studios to bring new and original stories to fans of all generations,” said Mari Yamauchi, Director of International Business at Tatsunoko Production. “Tatsunoko is incredibly happy with Mad Cave’s work on Gatchaman and we look forward to continuing our journey together with Speed Racer.”
