Allegory, LLC will publish Speed Racer comics beginning in September with Speed Racer: Circle of Vengeance #1. Tommy Yune, Robby Musso, and Lee Kohse will work on the series. Kohse, who’s the cover artist and Creative Director, promised that the book would be faithful to the source material. “The stories we are working on are new, but we tell them around the events of the original manga by Tatsuo Yoshida and the animation based off of it,” he said. “In essence we are expanding the story while honoring the spirit of the original series.”
The license, from Speed Racer Enterprises, also includes graphic novels, games, and digital products. Allegory says it’s “a multimedia company that develops entertainment properties.”
