Mad Cave Studios announced it has teamed with Tatsunoko Production to bring Speed Racer to comic book shops.
Speed Racer debuted in 1967, and ever since then, reruns, VHS, DVD, and streaming editions, as well as a live-action movie, have kept the character in the spotlight. With a large fanbase, Mad Cave Studios’ partnership with Tatsunoko Productions will see Speed, Racer X, Trixie, and the Mach 5 racing into comic book stores.
“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.”
“We’re honored to work alongside Tatsunoko Production to bring new Speed Racer stories to the fans,” said Mark Irwin, President of Mad Cave Studios. “This is a dream project for us, and we’re excited to explore the rich history and timeless appeal of these characters while delivering new stories that will thrill both nostalgic fans and those discovering the world of Speed Racer for the first time.”
There is no word on a release date at this time.
