About the series
From 1964 to 1967, Charlton Comics put the pedal to the metal with Hot Rod Racers, a 15-issue series that captured the adrenaline of the custom car and drag-racing craze. Driven by the prolific scripting of Joe Gill and the energetic artwork of Charles Nicholas, Jack Keller, and Edd Ashe, each issue was a revved-up anthology of high-speed tales, featuring souped-up engines and daring drivers. Though it didn't invent the wheel, this series stands as a gritty, no-frills time capsule of mid-60s automotive culture, offering pure, unfiltered fun for fans of chrome and competition.
