Charlton Comics was one of the first comic companies to recognize the power of cars, racing and
the general interest in readersÕ Òneed for speedÓ. HOT RODS AND RACING CARS began being
published by Charlton Comics in November of 1951 and would go on to last a hundred and twenty
issues.
HOT RODS AND RACING CARS has stories from locations across the racing circuit globe including the
Indianapolis Speedway, Le Mans, Bonneville, Sebring International Grand Prix and Pebble Beach.
The series covered motor cross, drag racing, stock cars and even soap box derbies. If you aren't
careful you might learn something cool as HOT RODS AND RACING CARS had biographies on Louis
Chevrolet and articles about famous racers of the Indianapolis 500, various car models like the
LeSabre and how some car designs got their names.
Of course, the main attraction of HOT RODS AND RACING CARS were all the exciting adventures in
racing starring Speed Davis, Jimmy Mullane and humor with Buster Camshaft. Much of the artwork
for the first seven issues was crafted by Walter Davoren, Sy Moskowitz, Jerry Maxwell, Art Gates
and others.
THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER AND TRADE PAPERBACK EDITIONS AS WELL AS IN FULL
COLOR AND BLACK & WHITE.
