He was tolerated in polite society because of his lineage and social standing, but one by one his friends were dropping away; Pedro Ramirez — Truth and honesty were difficult virtues for him. Perhaps he was leading Vargas down the wrong path in an attempt to rebuild his fortune?; Barney Burke — The Americano traveled through the pueblo, befriending Diego Vega. His goal was to build a cattle ranch of his own. But he hoped to finance his endeavor with the reward for Señor Zorro’s capture!; Diego Vega — Apathetic and languid by day, he was secretly El Zorro, the masked highwayman, by night! His sword rang true, clashed against enemy steel, in defense of the poor and downtrodden!This edition includes fifteen Zorro short stories from West magazine. In the introduction, pop culture historian and lecturer John E. Petty discusses "Zorro: The Unique, the Unusual, and the Bizarre" — an examination of Zorro movies and collectibles in other countries that are ... unusual.Short stories: "Zorro Saves His Honor," "Zorro and the Pirate," "Zorro Beats a Drum," "Zorro’s Strange Duel," "Zorro’s Masked Menace," "Zorro Aids and Invalid," "Zorro Saves and American," "Zorro Meets a Rogue," "Zorro Races with Death," "Zorro Fights for Peace," "Zorro Serenades a Siren," "Zorro Meets a Wizard," "Zorro Fights With Fire," "Gold For a Tyrant," and "The Hide Huner"www.boldventurepress.com Review: Been a Zorro fan since the great Walt Disney series of 1957 - Been a Zorro fan since the great Walt Disney series of 1957. Guy Williams will always be the definitive Zorro for me, but I have been looking for the original stories for years and am delighted to see that they have finally been re-released. Review: A timeless hero, though he lacked finesse - I can't criticize McCulley; he knew how to write an action-packed, atmospheric, rollicking adventure tale, and if they get a bit repetitive after a while - well, the fans insist that Zorro always win the fight, crack his whip and best the villain with his sword. It wouldn't be Zorro if the same winning formula didn't recur, and there is just enough variation between the stories to keep readers guessing. The only reason I took off a star is the very poor design of this edition. It read as if the publishers had scanned a manuscript using image-to-text and printed the results without proofreading. In places the letter 'i' was substituted with 'f' or vice versa, causing a sentence to contain the word 'oi' instead of 'of' or 'fie' instead of 'he', among many similar glaring errors. There were orphans and widows - if you know anything about typography, you know these are a word at the end of a paragraph left on a line of its own, and a last line of a paragraph carried over to a new page on its own, respectively - all over the place. There were weird chapter-breaks in the middle of conversations; weird line-breaks that attributed dialogue to the wrong person; and while the illustrations were passable, they were placed at the beginnings of chapters with captions that contained spoilers. I've purchased other books in the series, and they contain similar bloopers; in one memorable example, the word 'car' was substituted for 'ear', in a book set in the 1800's! In short, the only sign that this book even *had* an editor was their name in the credits. A first-year design student could likely do a better job; it's lucky that the content was so strong, that's the only reason I would recommend this book, despite the overt sloppiness of its execution. That said, I am grateful to the publishers for making these stories available to modern audiences; I just wish they'd been more meticulous about it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 711,884 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 33,132 in Adventure Stories & Action | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | ## Images ![Zorro #5: A Task For Zorro: Volume 5 (Zorro: The Complete Pulp Adventures) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bsnIu4QzL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Been a Zorro fan since the great Walt Disney series of 1957 *by G***R on 27 September 2017* Been a Zorro fan since the great Walt Disney series of 1957.
