“[The Final Lap] Chapter 1: Here He Comes...”

In Speed Racer #21 ("The Final Lap" Chapter 1: Here He Comes...), a weary Speed Racer is given a glimpse of what’s to come by the mysterious Racer X, reigniting his passion for the track. With renewed determination, he returns to racing and finally marries Trixie—only for her to step in front of a bullet meant for him during the buildup to the World Championship Race. Written by Nat Gertler and illustrated by Mike Ebert, with inks by David Mowry and vibrant colors by Jorge Pacheco and Suzanne Dechnik, this pivotal chapter sets the stage with emotional stakes and high-speed tension. The cover by Norm Dwyer and Jim Brozman captures the moment’s intensity, making it a standout issue for fans of the series.
