About this Collection

This volume collects the concluding chapters of IDW's 2008 Speed Racer series, wrapping up high-octane adventures as Speed Racer faces his most dangerous challenges yet in the Mach 5. The trade paperback brings together the final issues of the run, delivering classic racing action and family drama true to the original anime's spirit.

In "The Long Sleep," the Racer Family enjoys a rare vacation with the Vanderbucks, but Captain Van Scott has one final task to complete: she needs Speed Racer to make Mach V fully operational. Written by Lamar Waldron and illustrated by Norm Dwyer, with inks by Brian Thomas, colors by Joseph Allen, and letters by Joseph Allen, this 2008 IDW issue features a cover by Ken Steacy that captures the quiet tension beneath the family outing.
