Rev your engines for Speed Racer: Racer X #1, featuring a Cowabunga Comics exclusive variant cover by RZP. This debut issue kicks off Mark Russell and Nuno Plati's noir-tinged reimagining of the Speed Racer universe, and it's not the story you remember from Saturday mornings.
Speed Racer wakes up behind the wheel after a brutal race, no memory of how he got there, blood on his hands that isn't his own. As the mystery spirals into something with global stakes, one figure is watching from the shadows: Racer X. Is he there to save Speed, or take him down? This issue blends high-octane racing intrigue with the kind of moody, secrets-and-lies storytelling that turns a childhood favorite into something sharper and stranger.
Printed in limited quantities as a Cowabunga Comics exclusive, this RZP cover variant is built for collectors chasing something outside the standard print run, whether it's going straight to a slab or straight to your Speed Racer long box.
