Racer X #1

Racer X #1 (1988) kicks off with a high-stakes flashback as Rex recalls a mission that tested his limits—teamwork with Randy, a surprisingly sharp monkey, to stop a rogue dictator from unleashing nuclear chaos. Written by Fred Schiller and illustrated by George Booker, with inks by Brian Thomas, colors by Rich Powers, and letters by Ken Holewczynski, the issue blends tense action with unexpected alliances. The cover by George Booker captures the moment’s intensity, setting the tone for a story where brains and speed might be the only things standing between disaster and the world.
