Zorro: The Masters Edition Volume Two
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 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.

About the author
Johnston McCulley
242 books81 followersJohnston McCulley (February 2, 1883 – November 23, 1958) was the author of hundreds of stories, fifty novels, numerous screenplays for film and television, and the creator of the character Zorro.
Many of his novels and stories were written under the pseudonyms Harrington Strong, Raley Brien, George Drayne, Monica Morton, Rowena Raley, Frederic Phelps, Walter Pierson, and John Mack Stone, among others.
McCulley started as a police reporter for The Police Gazette and served as an Army public affairs officer during World War I. An amateur history buff, he went on to a career in pulp magazines and screenplays, often using a Southern California backdrop for his stories.
Aside from Zorro, McCulley created many other pulp characters, including Black Star, The Spider, The Mongoose, and Thubway Tham. Many of McCulley's characters — The Green Ghost, The Thunderbolt, and The Crimson Clown — were inspirations for the masked heroes that have appeared in popular culture from McCulley's time to the present day.
Born in Ottawa, Illinois, and raised in Chillicothe, Illinois, he died in 1958 in Los Angeles, California, aged 75. -wikipedia
