Speed Racer #5

In "Dead Heat," Speed Racer pushes his limits in a high-stakes race against the enigmatic V-Team, testing both his skill and nerve. While the track roars with danger, his allies Sparky and Spridle take a dangerous detour into the V-Team's headquarters, chasing whispers of a secret just out of reach. Written by Brian Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by Jill Thompson—her pencils and inks defining the issue's bold, kinetic energy—this 1987 Now Comics entry captures the thrill and tension of Speed’s most perilous challenge yet.
