Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This beautiful series brings you the original stories of Johnston McCulley, most of which have never been reprinted since their first appearance in the pulp magazines over 50 years ago. We have included the original illustrations that accompanied their first publication, along with gorgeous new ones. The great thing about this series is the way it appeals to everyone of all ages. Zorro embraces the true spirit of heroism, adventure, and romance.

For Zorro fans old & new,
By John Michael Nona (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zorro : The Masters Edition Vol. One (Paperback)
Saw the movies? Caught the reruns on the Disney Channel? Perhaps are a fan of pulp classics? This is for you. This is a long overdue reprinting of the original Zorro pulp stories. Different than the TV & movie adaptations? Yes. Exciting to read nonetheless? Yes. Included are the original illustrations as well as a checklist of the Zorro adventures. I eagerly await vol. 2.

Hero For A Century!,
By
This review is from: Zorro : The Masters Edition Vol. One (Paperback)
Zorro! The thundering hoof-beats, of a mighty steed, the flash of the blade, the witty remark, the eye for the ladies -- this is America's first action hero!These are the original tales of Zorro, just as they appeared in the original pulp magazines. They've been unavailable to the general reading public for years, and collecting the origianls would cost thousands of dollars. Now they're reprinted in clean, reset type, with the original illustrations, a gallery of the original covers, and new artist's interpretations as well. The fame of Zorro spans nearly a century. Here is a character who was know to my grnadfather, my father, myself, my son, and now my grandsons know that "Z" is the mark of Zorro, and thrilling adventure!

Amusing Collection of Zorro Stories,
By APRICOT "ryoko" (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Zorro : The Masters Edition Vol. One (Paperback)
This is a collection of some Zorro stories written by Johnston McCulley, the creator of Senor Zorro, from old pulp magazines. The stories are "Zorro Saves A Friend", "Zorro Hunts A Jackal", "Zorro Deals With Treason", "Mysterious Don Miguel", "Zorro Draws His Blade" and "Zorro Upsets A Plot". The book also contains a checklist of all Zorro stories on pulp magazines; good reference for Zorro fans.The situation of these stories is a little different from that of "The Mark of Zorro", the very first Zorro novel written by McCulley. For example, in "The Mark of Zorro", nobody dreams that languid Don Diego is Senor Zorro, while in these stories, the Army officers suspect Don Diego to be Zorro. The stories mainly describe how the enemies try to trap Don Diego/Zorro and how Don Diego/Zorro brilliantly outwits them. They are amusing and I enjoy reading them. I would be happier if this book were an ordinary size paperback and much less expensive. But I will perhaps buy Volume Two if available.
