Publisher Description. Mad Cave Studios is gunning it this Free Comic Book Day with two brand-new titles – Speed Racer #0 and The Phantom #0. These fresh takes on two legendary icons are built for speed, action, and adventure, making them the perfect launchpads for Mad Cave’s newest series.
Speed Racer #0 kicks things off with high-octane storytelling, while The Phantom #0 introduces a bold new chapter for the comics’ original masked hero. Whether you’re a longtime fan of these characters or just getting on board, these FCBD issues are your first look at what’s coming next!
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. Written by David Pepose & Mark Russell. Art by Davide Tinto & Chris Batista. Cover by Chris Batista.
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! Written by Ray Fawkes. Art by Russell Olson. Cover by Greg Smallwood.
Speed Racer #0 and The Phantom #0 will be available at local comic shops this Free Comic Book Day, May 3.
