Charlton Comics was one of the first comic companies to recognize the power of cars, racing and the general interest in readers' "need for speed". 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 fourteen issues was crafted by Walter Davoren, Sy Moskowitz, Jerry Maxwell, Art Gates and Dick Giordano. THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN BOTH HARDCOVER
