Rex Racer

Rex Racer is the older brother of Speed Racer in the high-octane world of professional racing, a central figure whose complicated ties to the Racer family — including Pops Racer — drive much of the drama surrounding the iconic Speed Racer franchise.

Roaring onto the page in 1987's Speed Racer #2, Rex Racer has been part of the high-octane world of racing comics for nearly four decades — a remarkable run from the Copper Age all the way into the modern era. Created by Len Strazewski and Gary Thomas Washington, he shares his adventures with some of the most beloved names in the franchise: Speed Racer, Racer X, Pops Racer, Trixie, and even the irrepressible Chim-Chim. His appearances span the Speed Racer and Racer X titles under Mad Cave Studios, making him a recurring presence in a universe that has clearly stood the test of time. If you're diving into the world of racing comics, Rex Racer is a name worth tracking down.
