Spritle Racer

Spritle Racer burst onto the American comics scene in 1989's Speed Racer Classics #2, bringing the beloved kid brother energy of the iconic racing franchise to Copper Age pages under the creative hands of Tatsuo Yoshida and Mike Mulvihill. Across a remarkable 36-year publishing span — from Speed Racer and Speed Racer Classics all the way through Speed Racer: The Next Generation under Mad Cave Studios — Spritle has remained a spirited constant in a world of roaring engines and high-stakes adventure. He shares his pages with some of the most recognizable names in the franchise: Speed Racer, Pops Racer, Trixie, and the ever-present Chim Chim. For fans of the series, Spritle is the heart of the family dynamic that makes these stories more than just racing comics.
