With Free Comic Book Day coming up, Mad Cave Studios is getting everyone excited with two previews of Speed Racer #0 and The Phantom #0.
SPEED RACER #0
(W) David Pepose, Mark Russell (A) Davide Tinto, Chris Batista (CA) Chris Batista
An all-new continuation of Tatsuonoko Production’s classic anime, MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as Speed Racer!
David Pepose and David Tinto have the storytelling keys to the featured story in issue #0, which ignites Mad Cave’s ongoing Speed Racer series. Meanwhile, Mark Russell and Chris Batista drive a backup tale that leads directly into a Racer X spin-off series.
One part Drive, another part Baby Driver, and another part Fast and Furious—with classic anime/manga inspiration throughout—fans new and old are given a front-row seat to exciting tales of action, adventure, overcoming challenges, and family.
THE PHANTOM #0
(W) Ray Fawkes (A) Russell Olson

The Phantom, Lee Falk’s highly influential superhero, is back in an all-new adventure series! The first story in an exciting publishing plan that is sure to satisfy both new and returning “Phans” of comics’ beloved Ghost Who Walks. In true Phantom fashion, look forward to pulpy storytelling focused on justice, honor, mystery, and mythology—all told with heaps of action!
Free Comic Book Day 2025 takes place on May 3, 2025.
