Rating: - What a Treat! Hard to put it down.
Johnston McCulley is a hard act to follow. As the Creator of El Zorro, he's the champ, the master. However, these authors of Tales of Zorro do a commendable job as keepers of the flame. This book is a real treat for any Zorro fan, whether you love Guy Williams, Duncan Regehr, or Antonio Banderas, among others, in the role.
Seventeen all new stories about the adventures of Zorro are a mix of many versions from McCulley's written word to movies to Television, some written in such a graphic ... Read More

I have been a Zorro fan for a great many years, and was incredibly excited to hear of the release of this book, containing some of the first Zorro stories in many years. I jumped at the opportunity to order it, and as soon as I picked up my copy, began reading with great anticipation.

Rating: - I love this collection!
What a fantastic book! I love the whole package, from the Guy Williams, Jr. intro to the stories to the fantastic illustrations by Ruben Procopio- this is one thrilling rollercoaster ride!

The illustrations throughout and "Z" chapter dividers just reinforce the fun. I wish there were more Procopio illustrations ... Read More
Rating: - Tales of Zorro...Great
"The Fox" has been around a lonnng time. The "Curse of Capistrano" introduced the world to Zorro. Johnston McCulley penned the legendary tale in 1918, and it took little time for Hollywood (Douglass Fairbanks) to bring him to the silent screen as the 2nd `hero' taken from popular media. (Tarzan was the first in 1918).
From that time forward, Zorro has always been in the public eye. Don Diego de La Vega has appeared in pulp magazines (McCulley), comic books (Disney, Dell, Dynamite, Gold Key, Marvel), ... Read More
Rating: - Allende's version of Zorro dominates here
I thought with so many authors I would be getting different versions of Zorro. From Guy Williams, Duncan Regehr to Antonio Banderas, but the authors seemed to have created a time line which takes a lot form Isabel Allende's story. I'm a Zorro fan that didn't care for Allende's version and decided not to read the second half of the stories from the book for this reason, and I felt that Allende's version was being pushed on me. I did enjoy the stories I did read and liked the writers' style better than Allende's. If ... Read More
