Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Giada Marchisio and Nuno Plati, this thrilling mini-series explores the transformation of Rex Racer into the mysterious driver known as Racer X. Before the mask and the legend, Rex Racer was one of the most promising young drivers on the racing circuit. His natural talent and fearless style made him a rising star destined for greatness.
