Tommy Yune is a comic book author who became known for his manga-style work on Speed Racer, which was followed by a comic industry revival of classic anime shows such as Transformers, Battle of the Planets and Robotech.
Yune first started out with the 1992 series Buster the Amazing Bear and joined Jim Lee at Wildstorm Productions after a few years as a video game designer. After writing and illustrating Speed Racer, he followed up with two more manga-style miniseries, Racer X and the shameless cheesecake romp Danger Girl: Kamikaze. The original Speed Racer run was also re-released as the graphic novel titled Born to Race. Wildstorm continued the manga trend after being bought by DC Comics by starting up a CMX imprint to handle more manga titles.
