Zorro: Man of the Dead #1 Cover

Out this week from Massive Publishing is Zorro: Man of the Dead #1. This is a modern update on the classic character and it works. The art and story are both amazing. I'm already looking to reading the next issue. I highly recommend picking this up.

Zorro #11 and 12

This post is later than usual for Blogger was having graphic problems for most of the day. Anyway, the cover of these last two issues of the Zorro series from Marvel Comics were done by Alex Toth. Zorro #11 (October 1991) features "Engagement With Death" written by Bruce Lansbury and Ian Rimmer, penciled by Dave Taylor, inked by Colin Fawcett, colored by Louise Cassell and lettered by Stuart Bartlett. This issue deals with Diego's father being visited by Francesca, whom he has been writing letters to and decided to marry. Of course, she is not what she appears to be and trouble forces Zorro to appear.

Dave Taylor did the interior artwork for Zorro #12 (November 1991). "Saints and Sinners" was written by Ian Rimmer, colored by Louise Cassell and lettered by Stuart Bartlett. I like this issue the best for it deals what would have happened if Diego never donned the mask.

Zorro #4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

"Relative Danger" in Zorro #4 (March 1991) has a flashback of when Diego found Felipe.

Zorro #5 (April 1991) features "Deal With the Devil" that has Colonel Mefisto Palomarez of the Royal Spanish Army taking over Los Angeles.

"The Best Man" in Zorro #6 (May 1991) has Deigo's cousin, Raphael, and his fiancee coming to Los Angeles but she falls in love with the masked man.

Dave Taylor did the cover and interior art for Zorro #7 (June 1991) features "Liquid Gold" about Los Angeles dealing with a drought and Alcalde Luis Ramone's greed.

"Sanctuary" in Zorro #8 (July 1991) features the arrival of Sir Edmund Kendall, Diego's old university professor and fencing tutor. Dave Taylor did the cover and the interior art.

Dave Taylor also did the cover of Zorro #9 (August 1991) as well as the interior pencils. "The Devil You Know!" features the Alcalde's twin brother, Vincente.

Zorro #2

Mario Capaldi may have been the cover artist for Zorro #2 (January 1991) since he did the interior pencils and inks. "The Magician" was scripted by Ian Rimmer based on a story by Ted Alben and Greg Klein. Euan Peters was the colorist and Stuart Bartlett was the letterer. This series from Marvel Comics was based on the 1990 Zorro tv series that ran on the Family Channel starring Duncan Regehr and Patrice Camhi Martinez.
