Speed Racer: Mach Go Go Go.

Tatsuo Yoshida was a pioneer of anime but began his career as a manga artist. To build support for his second anime series, Mahha go go go, released in English as Speed Racer, Yoshida drew and wrote a manga with the same title. In developing his characters and initial episodes, Yoshida drew heavily on his earlier manga series featuring car and motorcycle racing themes, in particular Pilot Ace (1960-1964). Mahha go go go first appeared in Shueisha’s Shonen Book magazine in June of 1966 and ran until May of 1968. The individual episodes were collected in tankobon books by Japan’s Sun Wide Comics beginning in 1966. In 2000, long after Yoshida’s death from cancer in 1977, Fusosha reprinted all of the episodes in a two-volume box set.
