'''''Speed Racer''''', also known as {{nihongo|'''''Mach GoGoGo'''''|マッハ{{ruby|GoGoGo|ゴーゴーゴー}}|Mahha GōGōGō|lead=yes}}, is a Japanese [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Tatsuo Yoshida]]. It was originally serialized in print in [[Shueisha]]'s 1966 ''[[Shōnen Book]]''. It was released in {{Transliteration|ja|[[tankōbon]]}} form by [[Sun Wide Comics]] and later re-released in Japan by [[Fusosha]]. Adapted into [[anime]] by [[Tatsunoko Production]], its 52 episodes aired on [[Fuji Television]] from April 1967 to March 1968. In the US, the show aired in [[Broadcast syndication|syndication]] at approximately the same time. The anime was later re-broadcast on [[Tokyo MX]] from July 1 to September 25, 2008.

Selected chapters of the [[manga]] were released by [[NOW Comics]] in the 1990s under the title ''Speed Racer Classics''. These were later released by [[Wildstorm Productions]], a division of [[DC Comics]], as ''Speed Racer: The Original Manga''. In 2008, under its Americanized title, ''Speed Racer'', ''Mach GoGoGo'' was republished in its entirety in the United States by [[Digital Manga Publishing]] and was released as a box set to commemorate the franchise's 40th anniversary, as well as serving as a tie-in with the [[Speed Racer (film)|2008 film]]. The television series was very successful in the United States and is said to have defined anime in that country until the 1990s, being watched by a total estimated audience of {{nowrap|40 million}} viewers during the 1960s{{ndash}}1970s.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Fouladpour |first1=Tony |title=Speed Racer Becomes First Animated Action Hero to Endorse a Car--drives Volkswagen GTI to Victory in New TV Spot |url=http://udel.edu/~mm/anime/speed/articles/vw.html |access-date=20 February 2021 |publisher=[[Volkswagen of America]] |date=July 16, 1996}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Launching From the Web: Art Asylum Seeks an Alternative to Costly TV Ads |url=https://icv2.com/articles/comics/view/8252/launching-from-web |access-date=20 February 2021 |work=[[ICv2]] |date=February 20, 2006}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |title=Need For Speed |magazine=[[Sega Pro]] |date=14 October 1993 |issue=25 (November 1993) |page=14 |url=https://archive.org/details/sega-pro-25/page/n13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Malham|first=Howell J.|date=May 20, 1993|title=In Pole Position for a Comeback|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1993-05-20-9305200351-story.html|access-date=2021-12-26|website=[[Chicago Tribune]]}}</ref>
