“The Haunted Engine”

In "The Haunted Engine," the Racer family settles into life in San Francisco as they prepare for the next big race, only to be shaken by the sudden return of the GTX—the legendary, near-mythical engine said to be the fastest in the world. Written by Lamar Waldron and illustrated by George Booker, with inks by Brian Thomas and colors by Ken Holewczynski, this 1988 issue captures Speed’s growing unease and fascination as the GTX reenters his world, pushing him toward choices that test his limits. The cover, by George Booker, perfectly captures the tension of a machine that feels more like a presence than a vehicle.
