Hot Rods and Racing Cars

A delightfully scrappy tribute to the roar of engines and the gleam of chrome, Hot Rods and Racing Cars was a mainstay of Charlton Comics for over two decades, spanning 120 issues from 1951 to 1973. The series thrived on the energetic, detail-rich artwork of Jack Keller, Dick Giordano, and Bill Molno, often paired with scripts by Keller or the prolific Joe Gill. It stands as one of the longest-running and most dedicated comic book celebrations of automotive culture, offering a straightforward, action-packed look at the world of hot rods, dragsters, and track racing before the hobby became a nostalgic memory.
