About the Book

An all-new continuation of Tatsuo Yoshida's classic manga/anime, MachGoGoGo, known to Western audiences as Speed Racer! David Pepose and Davide 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. Exclusive original material!

About the Illustrators

Born in Naples, Italy on the 23rd of August 1983, Davide Tinto is a great fan of comics. After completing his art studies, he started working for independent publishers. Thus began his collaborations with Octane Comics, Inteweb Comics, Big Punch Studio, Evil Kat Studio, Cards & Co., Giochi Uniti, Evoluzione Publishing, Reckless Hero, and many others. In 2018, he embarked on his first trip to America, and at New York Comic Con, he had the opportunity to meet the editors of the biggest majors on the market. Thus he began to work first for Rebellion publishing on the 2000 AD magazine (collaboration still active today); then he began his partnership with IDW for which he drew a run on Marvel Action Spiderman (from issue 10 to 12). Also for IDW he drew the cover of Issue 1 of the new edition of GI Joe and worked on Clone Wars—Battle Tales 4 and on Star Wars Adventures 3—Kylo Mini Magg—Fallow and Lead (Issue forthcoming). At the same time he also began working for Valiant Comics on the comic The Visitor. Between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, through Arancia Studio, he was noticed and chosen by Steve Orlando to undertake a collaboration. The project became part of the upcoming releases for Image Comics on which the artist is still working.

Chris Batista is an American comic book artist known for his work on a number of titles for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, including Steel, Spaceknights, and Thunderbolts
