Speed Racer Hits Maximum Velocity with Mad Cave’s New Deluxe Hardcover!

The Mach 5 Returns! Speed Racer Blasts Back in a Deluxe 152-Page Hardcover Packed with Danger, Drama, and Full-Throttle Survival.

Mad Cave Studios and Tatsunoko Production proudly 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 (Space Ghost, Savage Avengers), illustrated by Davide Tinto (Ultraman: The Mystery of the Ultraseven, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters), colored by Rex Lokus, and lettered by Buddy Beaudoin, this 152-page deluxe hardcover collects the explosive first arc with a bold reimagining.

Buckle up for an explosive new take on Speed Racer where underground races are lethal, a crime syndicate has his family in its sights, and the road to victory is lined with bullets, betrayal, and burning rubber.

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.
