Product Description:
The long awaited Volume Two in the ZORRO: THE MASTERS EDITION series has arrived! This series will reprint all of Johnston McCulley's original ZORRO stories, most of which have never been reprinted since their very first appearance in the best selling magazines of the 1900's. Each volume includes the original stories, the original art that accompanied them, a gallery of covers from the magazines the stories appeared in, a checklist of all the ZORRO stories, and a beautifully painted cover by master painter Joel F. Naprstek. Not only is this series a must for every collectors shelf, it is perfect for every age. Romance, swordplay, honor, adventure, and horses are the key words here.

We tend to forget what a great fictional creation Zorro is.
Here are 11 of his classic adventures -- 10 short stories and a novelette -- which have been unavailable for over a half-century. As Zorro or as the languid Don Diego, our hero is resourceful and witty. He fights for the oppressed. Thew soldiers he fights against are honorable and brave, and Zorro respects them, reserving his contempt for their political masters.
It is amazing how "politically correct" the original Zorro stories are. Written at a time when magazines didn't think twice abouvt using terms like "spic" or "greaser", here we have a Hispanic hero helping people protect thier rights. Often, we find ourselves apologizing for the language and attitude of previous generations; you don't have to do that with Zorro.
No Zorro fan of any generation will fail to be thrilled by these adventures!
