Speed Racer Vol. 2 - by David Pepose (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Speed Racer's past and future collide when a vengeful rival armed with the unstable GRX Engine shatters the Mach 5 and forces Speed to confront the legacy of his father... and himself. As Pops steps back behind the wheel to become Speed's toughest coach, a brutal rivalry escalates into tragedy, proving that raw speed alone can't win every race.

But the danger doesn't stop at the finish line: gangsters, experimental fuels, and a mind-altering drug turn Speed into a demon on wheels, pushing him to the edge of losing everything he loves. From high-society galas to races inside an active volcano, Speed must reclaim who he is or watch the road destroy him.

About the Author

Born in Naples, Italy on the 23rd of August 1983, Davide Tinto is a great fan of comics. After completing his art studies, he started working for independent publishers. Thus began his collaborations with Octane Comics, Inteweb Comics, Big Punch Studio, Evil Kat Studio, Cards & Co., Giochi Uniti, Evoluzione Publishing, Reckless Hero, and many others. In 2018, he embarked on his first trip to America, and at New York Comic Con, he had the opportunity to meet the editors of the biggest majors on the market. Thus he began to work first for Rebellion publishing on the 2000 AD magazine (collaboration still active today); then he began his partnership with IDW for which he drew a run on Marvel Action Spiderman (from issue 10 to 12). Also for IDW he drew the cover of Issue 1 of the new edition of GI Joe and worked on Clone Wars--Battle Tales 4 and on Star Wars Adventures 3--Kylo Mini Magg--Fallow and Lead (Issue forthcoming). At the same time he also began working for Valiant Comics on the comic The Visitor. Between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020, through Arancia Studio, he was noticed and chosen by Steve Orlando to undertake a collaboration. The project became part of the upcoming releases for Image Comics on which the artist is still working.
